So recently I set up a little collection of songs, traditional, folk songs and just old ones, which Mark mentioned one way or another.
Starting with "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond", and this particular version is one of the prettiest thing I ever heard in my life:
Mark used it as an introduction for "What It Is" in 2001 as many of you know, it's a pity he stopped this tradition.
Also, this is a fine rendition of a Scottish song "O Waly, Waly" by renowned guitarist John Williams.
Mark played this melody on Golden Heart sessions and it can be heard on "Golden Demos" bootleg.
Also, I know that "Deep Blue Sea" is the original tune for "Miss You Blues", and "Shove The Pig's Foot A Little Further Into The Fire" is original tune for "Oklahoma Ponies". Of course Mark also recorded "On Raglan Road" and "The Lily Of The West" himself, and used "The Mist Covered Mountains" both as a piece of music and as a line in "Brothers In Arms".
Mark mentioned in an interview that "Amazing Grace" was one of the earliest songs he ever heard, this is my favourite rendition:
And I believe that "Auld Lang Syne" was played during Brothers In Arms tour, but can't find any recordings of it.
Did I miss something? Which traditional songs names he dropped in interviews and lyrics or used in his own songs?
