Wanted - tune to "The Humours of Whiskey"

Whistle
1

Desperately in search of a recording of this so I can figure out what I am aspiring to when I try to play it. It has great words for a drinking song that goes with it and one of my medieval club-mates is a whiskey fish (as in he drinks it like one :slight_smile: ). I want to get the tune right so I can play it and sing it to teach other members of the medieval club who are rather vocal, especially when drinking :laughing:. Would be great to sing at a feast while sitting around the campfire.
I have the music and the words from the site http://www.tinwhistler.com/music/songname.asp?sort=ALL, under H for Humours (or maybe spelt Humors, sorry I’m a kiwi and we use Brittish spellings)

Cheers

Thanks heaps,

If I ever get it recorded might post to clips and snips once I can play it right.

Cheers

The Rising Pints do an excellent version that you can hear on mp3.com.

Speaking of pints, the American pint has 16 ounces, whereas the British pint has the signicantly larger 20 ounces. Does this mean that they drink more?

The Irish/English pint is 20 oz. you’re correct.

It’s often called a “Proper Pint”, just for the record. :slight_smile:

Actually the difference owes to the fact that the UK corrupted the size of the gallon in 1824. The USA still uses Queen Anne’s gallon of 1706.
