My 'Track of the Week": 'Blaze Away' (Holzmann) Performed by Raymond and His Famous Banjo Band. (Updated)


ALL TOGETHER NOW!

"Oh! What a pity she'd only one ti..... etc."

ahem,

Or, should you prefer:

We'll make a bonfire of our troubles and we'll watch them blaze away
and when they've all gone up in smoke clouds,
we'll never worry should they come another day
and as the bonfire keeps on burning,
happy days will be returning,
while the band keeps playing
we'll let our troubles blaze away

Here we are, there's work to do,
and don't let troubles trouble you.
Bring them along and we'll burn them up,
bring them along and we'll burn them up ha ha, ha hey

Start and throw them right into the fire
Watch the flames go higher and higher
Blazing away, blazing away, oh, come along bring your worries round today.

We'll make a bonfire of our troubles and we'll watch them blaze away
and when they've all gone up in smoke clouds,
we'll never worry should they come another day
and as the bonfire keeps on burning,
happy days will be returning,
while the band is playing
we'll let our troubles blaze away. 



In answer to Mr. O.F.'s comment:
I thought I'd seen the biggest banjo in the world at last year's Wukulele Festival:

 But I was wrong, obviously.

I love it. That is the first time I've seen a banjo bass. I noticed the variety of banjos including the mandolin banjo.
This band would drive the haters of banjos of the world into a straight jacket.
If they had only added a bagpipe and maybe an accordian it would have been perfect.

It is now my dream to be a member of a Banjo, Bagpipe and Accordian ensemble.

If you throw in a steel guitar and an alto sax badly played you can make a lot of enemies and clear almost any room.
