TehRazorBack Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Good morning, Today I'd like to share an arrangement I made of Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors by Leslie Sarony (1928). The song is a comedy song, featuring lyrics like "An old maid down in Devon, said my idea of heaven, is forty-seven ginger-headed sailors". Was introduced to it by my brother who heard it played in Jeeves and Wooster, and British comedy series from 1990 based on the Jeeves book series, and featuring High Laurie and Stephen Fry. Thought it sounded great, and I wanted to get a rendition going on the ol' squeezebox. Like always, I'll attach a copy of the music I arranged, and here is a link to the Musescore page if you prefer that: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/8966315 Have a good day, Martin Forty-Seven_Ginger-Headed_Sailors.pdf 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Thornock Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Nicely done! Good heart and humor. I just watched this episode two weeks ago. Hilarious. And so refreshing to have the actor himself do the music! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
