Next in the series of Milne poems set to music: Buckingham Palace. Our friend Brian was visiting from Michigan for the weekend, and I had him sing this one.
It will probably eventually get a more complicated arrangement, with the backing track building over time (keeping Boo’s vocal; I love the ‘folk opera’ sound he got!), but here we have the live take: one voice and one guitar (and one toddler, who was good enough to keep quiet for 2.5 minutes).
