I found this excellent female trio performance on youtube, with country diva Emmylou Harris and Irish diva Mary Black. Although the video quality is poor, I like this one the time I saw it.

"Emmylou Harris, Mary Black and Dolores Keene sing the traditional song "Sonny", they are backed by some of the worlds best "roots" musicians. The song is from a Public Service Broadcast by the BBC in the UK. The series was called The Transatlantic sessions and was filmed in a Scotish Castle about 8 years ago."

Yeah... Thanks for sharing! The trio is excellent! : )

Dear All Friends :

差點兒Miss咗這個Post，多謝Dear Sum給我們這個很'正'的分享.......

在這個Emmylou Harris、Mary Black及Dolores Keane三人組合中，Emmylou Harris在早前我們也談過不少........

Ching Wan也常有唱的'No Frontiers'就是Mary Black'的代表作，而我們也不會陌生，Pete & Iris常有唱的'Caledonia'，Dolores Keane的一個Version，也是很有代表性........

原來Dolores Keane在未作個人發展前，就是愛爾藺著名Irish Folk組合De Dannan的第一代歌手，而Mary Black後來也曾是De Dannan的歌手.......

以下的一個Video就是近期De Dannan的一個Concert中，De Dannan現在的歌手Tomie Fleming連同之前的三位歌手Maura O'Connell、Eleanor Shanley及Mary Black的難得同台合唱，但就獨欠了Dolores Keane吧.......

De Dannan 4位歌手所唱的歌曲就是我們也應不會陌生，Stephen Foster的'Hard Times Come Again No More'.......

Hard Times Come Again No More

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count the many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times come again no more

It's a song a sigh of the weary
Hard times hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more

Though we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay
They are frail forms a-waiting by our door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading seems to say
Oh, hard times come again no more

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice should be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh, hard times come again no more.

It's a sigh that is wafted across the lowly plains
It's a wail that is heard upon the shore
It's a dirge that is murmured across the lonely grave
Oh hard times come again no more
