SILVER DARLINGS - Terry Neason original song

Silver Darlings 
song written by Terry Neason & Mark Stevens

Silver Darlings is the affectionate name given to Herring by those who fished for them.
Was inspired to co-write Silver Darlings after years of touring the Highlands & Islands of my homeland, Scotland. Being a city girl fro Glasgow, it was an emotional experience to be in a smaller community midst their family and friends waiting for the fishing boats to return during stormy weather. There were some who never came home...
