GUEST,Jim Causley Folklore: Baring-Goulds Constructions (34) RE: Folklore: Baring-Goulds Constructions 20 Mar 14

I haven't chatted to Martin about this yet no athough what got me started was when chatting to guitartist Pete Berryman who plays the tune Delyo Syvy. I commented that it put me in mind of a few Baring-Gould song tunes and he said "that's no coincidence as Delyo Syvy is actually a Cornish set of lyrics that had no melody and were put to a tune of a song that Baring-Gould "collected" in Launceston called 'Where are you going to my pretty maid'. And that got me on the scent of other Baring-Gould tunes which is felt were related or similar
