   A Long Time Ago - - A long, long time, and a long time ago, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - A long, long time, and a long time ago, - A long time ago! - 2. A smart Yankee packet lay out in the bay, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - Awaiting for a fair wind to get under way, - A long time ago! - - 3. With all her poor sailors sick and all sad, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - For they'd drunk all their whiskey, no more could be had, - A long time ago! - - 4. She was waiting for a fair wind to get under way, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - If she hasn't had a fair wind she's lying there still. - A long time ago!

 
 

Quotations about Folk Bands.      

A sample of what has been written about folk bands. A Quotation:-

There are in the music of the violin ... accents so closely akin to those ofcertain contralto voices that one has the illusion that a singer has taken her place amid the orchestra. One raises one’s eyes, and sees only the wooden case, delicate as a Chinese box, but at moments, one is still tricked by the Siren’s deceiving call; at times too, one thinks one is listening to a captive genie struggling in the darkness of the sapient, quivering and enchanted box, like a devil immersed in a stoup of holy water; sometimes, again, it is in the air, at large, like a pure and supernatural being that unfolds its invisible message as it goes by. Marcel Proust
