In the 1970s, I put a tune to Housman’s poem The Carpenter’s Son. Not that I did much with it at the time. Much more recently, revisiting my Housman settings (probably as a result of having moved to Ludlow), I recorded a version that included some fairly ambitious (for me) guitar, then went further and recorded an instrumental version called Carpentry with additional instruments overdubbed. (Bouzouki and mountain dulcimer.)

This remix combines a more recent acoustic guitar and vocal version with part of the instrumental version appended. Whether it’s a good idea remains to be decided. 🙂
