My Own Tune

THE EDITORS

Stan and I were both performing at a Mariposa Festival. At that time, he was the only other person who sang the ballad “The Maid on the Shore.” I loved the lyrics, but had never heard anyone sing it, so had created my own tune. When I finally heard Stan sing it, the chords to his tune and mine were identical!
