Subject: Hey TROLL! Can I borrow this:
From: Celtic Soul

I was doing a forum search for alternate verses to "Westering Home" and all I came up with was the one you wrote:
"Rolling along through the grey Irish Sea,
Ireland to windward and Man on our lee,
Up on the foredeck it's there that I'll be,
Awaitin' my first glimpse of Islay."

It's bloody brilliant, and perfect. I had thought to write my own for this one to flesh it out (as I too think it's too short, and there don't seem to be any more trad verses out there), but seeing as you seemed to have hit the nail on the head, I thought I would ask permission to borrow it. Would you mind? I'd be more than happy to credit you for the writing of it.

I trust there'll be a second verse for Jura. Those island malts should all get a mention.

I have a serious reservation on this verse. I think the singer should be having a kip, and not wasting time on the foredeck. I'm sure it's going to be a fair while till you can see Islay,given the wind direction and the location of Ireland and Man described.

Greg, good points. I do like still like it for the feel though. It brings forth the emotive state of the excitement of seeing home for the first time in a long time. Like a kid waiting on the stair, and looking out the window for the first glimpse of a parent who has been away.

Hey CS. troll's in Japan. I think he'll be there for maybe another five months. He said he might be on-line from time to time, but he wasn't promising anything.

I was only being pedantic! i think troll was pssibly carried away by the emotion of the moment, and the misting of his eyes caused a slight misreading of the chart. My guess is it was the Mull of Kintyre he mistook for Islay.(Could be a song in that, too).

Try a PM, it will be highlighted for him next time he logs in. The thread may have been lost in the weave by then

C S. I would be delighted if you would use my verse.

Yes, I am in Japan, working for Tokyo Disney as an "atmosphere" performer. That means I wander around a stylized Cope Cod waterfront with my guitar and sing sea songs. And for this I get paid!
Greg, a little geographical poetic license (if such exists) was required to make the verse work ans, yes, I was going more for the emotion than for strict accuracy. troll

Thanks, Troll!!!

I love the song, and that verse I think rounds it out nicely. I appreciate your willingness to share it!

I am envious, as well, of what you are doing, and where. :::sigh:::

Hey Troll...

We're recording the song, and per your permission, have included your verse.

How would you like the liner notes to credit you? I am thinking "Troll" might not be quite enough.

Thanks!!

Yup, finally...we have been working fast and furiously on a new studio CD. I think it's going to surpass anything we've done thus far.

And, thanks in part to Trolls verse, we have a really wonderful version of "Westering" to go on it. That song as only 2 verses in length has never seemed long enough to me. And, although the lyrics are a little incorrect, the feel was perfect for our intents.

Does anyone have any contact information on Troll? Perhaps a RL name in case he does not respond to my PM or this post? I would very much like to be able to credit his work on the liner notes.
