GUEST,TJ in San Diego | Origins: The Skye Boat Song (55* d) | RE: The Skye Boat Song | 14 Jan 10 |
My Scots ancestors were Stuarts, for all that's worth in this discussion. I recall going to a grand event many years ago (1950's)where members of The Black Watch touring group sang this song. Done so dramatically, with a male chorus and bagpipes, it was haunting indeed. I speak musically, of course, not politically. It was my first impression of the piece, which I have heard many times since, but never to such lasting effect. |
