Thanks a bunch, Jim, for the words and the extra history!


Can you suggest more Cornish songs (beyond Trelawny, Fish and Tin, Lamorna, Tinner Boys, Cadgwith Anthem, Sweet Nightingale, White Rose, Camborne Hill, Truro Agricultural Show . )? One that nags at me especially s John Nocky (sp?? chorus is something like "Johnny will ye come along now, Johnny with your big boots on, Johnny won't you stay . . .") Then there's Egleshayle and a funny song about "the old grey duck" and the holly song (St Day Carol), I can listen to Tom Bawcock's Eve, Bowler Hat and Skippers of St. Ives on the net too, and miss even more of the words.   Obviously it's tme I got back to Cornwall.
