"THE RIGS OF THE TIME 2021" tune trad. Words Tony Wilson

I am not a political animal. Not that I don't have an opinion, just that I want to be able to sleep at night and not ram my ideas and ideals down anyone else's throat. It was as I was walking my grandson in the rain and thinking about the state of things in this country at this moment in time, and how he and my other grandchildren would fair in the future, that this chorus from a Napoleonic song came into my mind and within an hour it was written and recorded. I know that we are lucky enough to be able to express ourselves, (for how long is uncertain), but Folk music is a channel for dissent and voicing feelings in a visceral and immediate way. I can only hope for better times to come. Love to you all. TWX
