Mornas

RIP Greg Lake. I love the songs with just voice and guitar. They sometimes remind me of western European Celtic folk music, or Jacques Brel or Edith Piaf. This one sounds like a Portuguese "morna", yet French (Pyrenean) as does "Still...". The twelve-strings he played really are a proxy for the lute. The mornas are played on a nylon string and are African-influenced but they have the same emotion behind them.
