Beth Ywr Haf I Mi/Llongau Caernarfon
Welsh, words Capt. Glyn Davies

What is the Summer to Me?/The Ships of Carnarvon. Elke Baker on fiddle joins us for this haunting set of Welsh tunes. Written in the 19th Century as a lament for a lost love, Beth Ywr Haf I Mi lends itself to a variety of interpretations as an air. We segue into a rather odd combination: a boating song about the ships of Caernarfon, a harbor town in Gwynedd, North Wales, set to a Norwegian tune.
