My Nanie O
Lyrics Robert Burns 1783, Music: Mike Ogletree 2011
One of Robert Burns' earliest recorded poems which he introduces in this version in the Stair Manuscript thus "The following songs were all done at a very early period of life and consequently are incorrect". Here he describes himself as a country plow boy with little cash and without a care in the world while he has the love of his girlfriend Nanie. In this last page Burns compares himself with the farmer for whom he works, who for all his wealth he cannot be more at ease with his condition than Burns as a common plow boy with not a care in the world than his love for Nanie. Burns must have written it while at Lochlie farm around 1777. He later on 26 Oct 1792 discusses it with George Thomson with regard to the euphonic value of the name of the river in the first line. Burns' brother Gilbert surmised that Nanie was probably
Agnes Fleming, daughter of a neighboring farmer at Coldcothill or Doura.

The town that made Robert Burns 'The Poet'.
Robert Burns and Richard Brown depicted by the harbour in Irvine.
Robert Burns' birthplace is well-known as the Ayrshire village of Alloway but where did Burns really begin his poetic life? Another Ayrshire town is laying claim to that honour and it wants that story to be part of a wider strategy to revitalise areas of the town.

Fields Of Athenry"The Fields of Athenry" is an Irish folk ballad set during the Great Irish Famine (1845–1850) about a fictional man named Michael from near Athenry in County Galway who has been sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay, Australia, for stealing food for his starving family. It is a widely known and popular anthem for Irish sports supporters. Written in the 1970s by Pete St. John, it was first recorded in 1979 by Danny Doyle, reaching the top ten in the Irish Singles Chart. It charted again in 1982 for Barleycorn, reaching number seven in Ireland, but the most successful version was released by Paddy Reilly in 1982. It remained in the Irish charts for 72 weeks.

Kilmarnock when I was a kid
When I was a kid in my home town of Kilmarnock in Burns Country on the west coast of Scotland we used to listen to a lot of Bob Marley. "Get up stand up, stand up for yer rights", was our anthem. Today with that same conviction I still embrace the reggae style as an expression of my inner rebel and my latest single, "Kilmarnock When You Were A Kid" is a rebellious protest at the loss of old Kilmarnock, the town of my childhood. By the 60's old Kilmarnock had evolved into a fine, if neglected, example of architectural grace and balance. The harmony between old and new, the streets and buildings and the ways of the towns folk gave a familiar and comfortable rhythm to living there. And all had been made possible by the dedicated hard work and innovation of the people who continued to inhabit and create it. With the decline of western industry the need to redevelop overtook the need to preserve and many of those treasured historic locales and edifices were torn down or "converted" for other use. In many cases done piece-meal with no consideration or consultation of the towns-people, the hard workers and innovators who had contributed so much to their creation. With an act of wanton destruction a rich heritage, centuries in the making, was eradicated forever from the heart of the town, taking with it the heart of its people. To show how much I love my hometown I am donating 80% of proceeds from song downloads toward town regeneration.
The song video is a slide-show of photos that recall familiar faces and places of old Kilmarnock as it was. They represent a small fraction of personal sharing, intimate and treasured memories that have been posted to the internet by friends of the FB Group, Kilmarnock When You Were A Kid. Just a wee slide-show to show yer pals what it was like when we were kids in Kilmarnock. We now have a goal to contribute and help to raise awareness and encourage participation in the preservation and restoration of what is left of old Kilmarnock. |
