Jim Krasue | Lyr Req: The Mill, Mill-O (5) | The Mill, Mill-O | 28 Apr 98 |
I found this tune in Robert Bremner's "Guitar Instruction" of 1758. Samuel Bayard refers to it as a parent tune to "Merrily Danced the Quaker," a fiddle tune he collected in Pennsylvania. He indicated that the Mill-O tune was quite popular in the 18th century, and had many sets of words composed for it. Does anyone have any? |
