Nigel Sellars	Hal An Tow: notes? (43)	RE: Hal An Tow: notes?	20 Dec 97
The Oyster Band has a verse -- which I've seen in versions elsewhere -- refering to the wearing of the horns "Your father's father wore them, and your father wore them, too." Since the "horned god" Cerumnos is part of Celtic lore and the Cornish being Celtic, does suggest the entire ritual has fertility connotations? Or did the Oysters merely add a floater verse?
