about

Lisa King – Carol of the Bells, Approximately

Lisa KingLisa – Banjo, Guitars, Keyboards, and Sleigh Bells.

Carol of the Bells, Approximately is based loosely on Shchedryk, a Ukrainian New Year’s song, known in English as the Little Swallow.

From the Wikipedia (edited):

Shchedryk was arranged by composer and teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916 and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring. Shchedryk was originally sung on the night of January 13, New Year’s Eve in the Julian Calendar. Shchedryk was later adapted as an English Christmas carol, Carol of the Bells, by Peter J. Wilhousky. Wilhousky copyrighted and published his new lyrics (which were not based on the Ukrainian lyrics) in 1936 and the song became popular in the United States and Canada and is now strongly associated with Christmas.

Lisa has played bass in a bunch of NW bands including Pure Joy and the Paul Lynde Fan Club. In the 90s she took up guitar and toured around Europe with the folksinger Larry Barrett.
