Stower	Barbara Allen earliest version? (85* d)	RE: Barbara Allen earliest version?	17 Oct 11
That is wonderful, Mick - thank you! And there are 5 pieces there in common with 17th century Scottish lute manuscripts, some of which I have never seen anywhere else - excellent! I'll have such pleasure playing through and comparing. And that Barbara Allen tune of 1747 is unlike any others I have heard. If I cannot find a definitely earlier tune (and I think it unlikely I will) I'll use that one. Interestingly, the repeats in that Barbara Allen tune mean singing verse 1 to the first half of the tune, verse 2 to the second half, then repeating that pattern - I like that. Mick, you've come up trumps often in my thread enquiries - it's much appreciated. Stower
