The Shaw Brothers -or- Seven Daffodils
J Steve Elliott
cover. It was called "Seven Daffodils". She said it was by Seldom Scene,
but I looked it up in one of those indexes you see in CD/record stores
and it was only recorded by The Shaw Brothers. I've never heard of that
band and was wondering if anyone has and could tell me about them. Also,
has anyone heard it done by Seldom Scene, and if so, which record?
Thanx

Weavers songbooks (The Weavers Song Book and Traveling on with
the Weavers -- I don't recall which), and it's by a sibling of
either Lee Hays or Fred Hellerman, or else it's by one of those
two himself, or else my memory of whom it's by has totally gone
to seed (in any case, the song is definitely in one of the two
books). This is perhaps the song you're after.

The Shaw Brothers are twin brother folksingers from
New Hampshire - I sometimes play their music on my folk
show on our state public radio station.
They have quite a following in New Hampshire, and have
been recording since the 1970s, I think.
We have the album you are asking about at the radio
station where I do my folk show. If you want to call
603-228-8910 and ask for the music director (Carl), I'm
sure he could pull the Shaw Brothers album off the shelf and
tell you all the info you need since it is a pretty
New Hampshire specific question!
**Please do not use this number for general folk music
questions; call your *local* public radio station if
they carry a folk show. **

there was a song called "Seven Daffodils" in one of the two Weavers
songbooks, and I couldn't remember which and exactly who wrote it.
I looked it up when I got home. The words are by Fran Moseley, a
sister of Lee Hays, and Lee himself wrote the music. The book
it's in is _Traveling_on_with_the_Weavers_.
