Turn the Glasses Over/Whup Jamboree – Song Download

MP3 Download

Two traditional songs. “Turn the Glasses Over” came from an old reel-to-reel recording of my brother Tony singing folk songs. This version is an unedited, real time chunk of January 2, 1993, featuring my 2½ year old son Gabriel.

I first heard “Whup Jamboree” on a record, We Sing of the Sea, that featured our family friend, Eugene Brice. He had a gorgeous bass baritone voice and was recruited for that voice rather than for possession of any particular nautical expertise! My sister and I, however, memorized all the songs and requested that he sing them long after he’d forgotten them. Here, the tradition continues with my then five year old son Arthur Woody.
