A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

This is Why I Need a Raise: Old Blind Dogs and "To the Beggin' I Will Go"
On this sad anniversary, today's song is by Old Blind Dogs called To the Beggin' I Will Go. Old Blind Dogs were formed in 1990 when the three founding members met on a "buskers holiday" in the Scottish Highlands. The band was originally distinctive as it represented the music and traditions of Northeastern Scotland and sang in the dialect of Aberdeen and the region. The band focuses on traditional Scottish and Celtic music, with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues and Middle Eastern rhythms. To the Beggin' I Will Go can be found on their 1999 CD The World's Room.
