Hi everybody.

Sarge asked me if I would like to choose the next 2 songs, and I gladly accepted. I tried to choose one faster and one slower piece. I also have 2 videos for each, one with words, one without. Here they are.

Silly Bill

-

Home Sweet Home

I have never heard Silly Bill and it has been a long time since I've heard Home Sweet Home.

I’ve been searching through my usual sites for some clues on the music for Silly Bill. They mostly give me Silly Billy. I don’t know if they are the same. Anyone know?
Also some other sites give me Seven Drunken Nights. Is that a version of Silly Bill? I’ve the lyrics of Silly Bill, but can’t get the melody yet.

Yes, Sarge, I agree now. I’ve lyrics of both titles and each have the same first verse. But they have different following verses. So I assume the music is the same. Although there’s a 3/4 and a 4/4 version.

If I wait till all you guys post, then I'm hesitant to post. All you guys sound too good.
