Scotus	Lyr Add: Sleepytoon / Sleepy Toon (Norman Kennedy) (43)	RE: Lyr Add: (Hiring Fair) Sleepytoon	03 Mar 06
Just a thought - given the fact that we're talking about 'bothie ballads', hiring fair should probably be feein mercat. and - in the north-east of Scotland (where the ones being discussed hail from) bothies were more often called chaumers (from the French chambre). The aforementioned volume 3 of Greig Duncan has a wonderful guest editor's article on bothy ballads by the late Peter Hall. Jack
