Woo-hoo, the magical Joe has sorted out my long-defunct login, so I get to be on as ME, rather than guest. :-) My forays onto H&CoC have yielded BOOK notations (including the book notation of the Shakespeare edition) but nothing about music or tune. I suspect that Ms. Sykes is a much better music history scholar than I, so perhaps she decided to write a tune for the lyrics having not been able to find one either. It just seems to me that there SHOULD be--it's rather a charming song & historically important. I can't afford the Joglaresa cd right now, though I did download the one song as an MP3. If anybody owns the cd & has the "4 page booklet," would you please let me know if it says anything about this song? & Q, the Bladey site can be problematic, but it's worth checking out if you have any interest in Wassail. The problem could be my link; you might trying googling Wassail+Bladey to see if that works better. Thanks again, folks!
