GUEST,sian in wales Lyr Req: Suo Gan (41) RE: SUO GAN Lyris needed please 22 May 00


I've just looked up Suo Gan in one of our better reference books for Welsh folk song. For those interested in history ...

it was copied originally from a manuscript found in Llanberis (N.Wales) and first published around 1904. The current one is a variation on an older one (same name) published in 1794. In 1820, one of our big-time bards wrote, "It is very probable that Storace took his Lullaby in the Pirates from this tune." ???

Anyway ... there's a bit more background for you...
