Wolfswetpaws Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 When I was young, a local school performed the play "Oliver". There was a girl who performed the song "Who Will Buy" in a manner that really touched my heart. I still get tears in my eyes when I remember. Anyway, I saw @SoshiSone's "I Dreamed A Dream" song, above, and was reminded. Finding a good version on youtube has been a challenge, for me. So, I'm including the lyrics, insstead. Quote Who Will Buy? lyrics ROSE SELLER Who will buy my sweet red roses? Two blooms for a penny. Who will buy my sweet red roses? Two blooms for a penny. MILKMAID Will you buy any milk today, mistress? Any milk today, mistress? ROSE SELLER Who will buy my sweet red roses? MILKMAID Any milk today, mistress? ROSE SELLER Two blooms for a penny. STRAWBERRY SELLER Ripe strawberries, ripe! Ripe strawberries, ripe! STRAWBERRY SELLER Ripe strawberries, ripe! MILKMAID Any milk today, mistress? ROSE SELLER Who will buy my sweet red roses? KNIFE GRINDER Knives, knives to grind! Any knives to grind? Knives, knives to grind! Any knives to grind? Who will buy? STRAWBERRY SELLER Who will buy? MILKMAID Who will buy? ROSE SELLER Who will buy? OLIVER Who will buy This wonderful morning? Such a sky You never did see! ROSE SELLER Who will buy my sweet red roses? OLIVER Who will tie It up with a ribbon And put it in a box for me? STRAWBERRY SELLER Ripe strawberries, ripe! OLIVER So I could see it at my leisure Whenever things go wrong And I would keep it as a treasure To last my whole life long. MILKMAID Any milk today? OLIVER Who will buy This wonderful feeling? I'm so high I swear I could fly. KNIFE GRINDER Knives! Knives to grind! STRAWBERRY SELLER Ripe strawberries, ripe! OLIVER Me, oh my! I don't want to lose it So what am I to do To keep the sky so blue? There must be someone who will buy... LONG SONG SELLER Who will buy? KNIFE GRINDER Who will buy? MILKMAID Who will buy? ROSE SELLER Who will buy? COMPANY AND OLIVER Who will buy This wonderful morning? Such a sky You never did see! Who will tie It up with a ribbon And put it in a box for me? There'll never be a day so sunny, It could not happen twice. Where is the man with all the money? It's cheap at half the price! Who will buy Who will buy This wonderful feeling? I'm so high I swear I could fly. Me, oh my! I don't want to lose it So what am I to do To keep the sky so blue? OLIVER There must be someone who will buy...

Snargfargle Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 This is the even older iteration of the Carter Family. Mamma Maybelle is the one with the guitar. The girls are not related but married the Carter brothers. They are considered one of the first country music groups in America. The melody of this hundred-year-old song by the original Carter Family can be heard in the later country-western hit "The Wild Side of Life." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to internet radio, I often listen to, depending on my mood, Volksmusikwelle out of Munich, which plays Bavarian folk music and polka during the day.

VOLKSMUSIKWELLE von laut.fm – Echte traditionelle Volksmusik. Ah... in Bavaria, where the mountains stick out of the ground! This clip has some of that music you like. It's hidden under 'spoiler' so us not to cause offense. Too much, anyway. The traditional restaurants in Bavaria seem to have excellent service... all the way.

It's an interesting take on the fairy-tale genre. It's not the best series but I'd rate it about a 6.5/10 -- worth watching if nothing better is on. It's by Matt Groening (Futureama; The Simpsons). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it advertised and watched a portion of the first episode. I'll give them credit for original story concepts. But, I didn't finish the first episode and haven't resumed watching. Netflix has created or financed a lot of their own original series, in addition to purchasing the broadcast rights to content they didn't create "in-house". They're willing to take some interesting chances, which seem to be paying-off overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
