GUEST, Bob Bolton('s other computer) Origins: Westering Home (Hugh Roberton) (112* d) RE: Lyrics? Westering home and a song in the air 17 Feb 00


G'day all and any,

I must have missed this first time around ... One surprise on reading through was Dick Greenhaus's observation of the relationship of this tune to The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre.

In ~37 years of playing The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre, I had never played it slow enough to hear what it sounded like as a waltz instead of as a double jig: Dick Greenhaus must get to sessions not driven by manic Irish Fiddlers!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
