Peggio (Fennario) -- Traditional
Hi All,
This was an experiment -- I hope this doesn't end up looking too hokie...  I first heard the song "Peggio" (some people call it "Fennario") in about 1963 from Joan Baez. Later when I got to college I heard Simon & Garfunkel sing their version on their first album, "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM." I have always liked this song, but only learned it in recent years. My version is most like the Simon & Garfunkel version, but not a dead-on copy. I can't sing as high as Art Garfunkel, anyway.  It turns out that this song has fairly deep roots going back to Scotland, where the song was originally called "The Bonnie Lass O' Fyvie." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bo...***_o%27_Fyvie At home I sing a version to my wife, whose name is Dorothy, but I sing it "Dorfy-o" She always kids me when I finish -- "Yay!!! and the crowd went wild!" she says from the kitchen. Part of the problem with two sets of words is that it's easy for me to cross my mental wires, and so before I started the last verse of this recorded version, I hesitated a little as the "Dorfy-o version crept into my brain. The experiment here was whether it would work to record a vocal harmony after I got the song recorded. I did that and even recorded my harmony singing on video. So there are two of me in this video, which my wife found a little unsettling.  I hope you enjoy this. I had fun making this. Thanks so much for listening! - Glenn

Wonderful, Glenn......5 stars and kudos on that one. Your wife sounds like an amazing support...and there are times when I hear my own wife passing along those same words from the other room! Funny how that goes........um, this wouldn't happen if I were singing, however!!
Really smooth playing and a very comfortable style on S. C. It goes great with the song. Thanks for sharing Fred

So nice of you to listen and comment. And yes, my wife couldn't possibly be more supportive. And, she is a joy to hang around with. We celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary in early June. I'm very glad to hear (or is it read?) that your wife is supportive, too. How cool! It really makes a huge difference! We are very fortunate people! Thanks again, Fred! - Glenn

I love that, Glenn! Excellent. I remember that song... and "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM," was a wonderful album and one you don't hear as much about these days. Seems like Simon's first wife was also named Peggy... he probably liked that tune.
Great song. I thought the harmony worked perfectly. And the SC OM sounds gorgeous. Nice to have a cheering fan section at home. You guys are very lucky!
