As suggested by Hugh!
I only play from music, and had some Lindisfarne on the go at the same time as the TV was showing something about the end of shipbuilding on the Tyne so had a flash of inspiration by trying to play it in a minor key from dots written in a major one. I missed minoring at least one note

Allan,

Thanks for posting that. You have proved one thing to me. Playing something in a minor key is very melancholy! If the Fog on the Tyne is no more then that is certainly very sad! But I do get why you have done this. You had watched a program about shipbuilding on the Tyne .. so for Fog, read Shipbuilding. And that really is very sad!

The original words are:

'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine.
The fog on the Tyne is all mine.
The fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine.
The fog on the Tyne is all mine.

And here is the original, which is not played in a minor key (although it has got one minor chord in it).

When the advert in the rectangular box comes up, click the x in the top corner of the advert to get rid of it.

You have done a brilliant 'tweak' on a well known piece of music!

Hugh

Hi there Allan,
That was a change I enjoyed listening to your version my good friend.

Hi Allan. Certainly different interpretation. Very melancholy. Liked the organ. John
