GUEST,Alan Ross Origins: Two sons were brothers (49) RE: Origins: Two sons were brothers 13 Mar 21


Here is a link to Donald Dallas's 'rendering'.   I had all of his recordings sent to me, but they are all equally dire and unfunny. There is one however, I might put on video called 'The Elusive Loch Ness Monster', which Britpop rocker Jarvis Cocker once played on BBC Radio 6 and is slightly above the rest.   Donald Dallas died in 1946 and all his works and recordings can be classed as public domain.   He was a strongman, Athlete, PE teacher and MC at Highland Games he was also an amateur stage entertainer. His works are recorded in the strongest Inverness accent possible, and often refer to a fondness for the whisky. Someone found him funny, and numerous recordings were made for the BELTONA record label in the early 1930's.   He often wrote bizarre monologues, punctuated with re-written trad. melodies. I am Invernessian, and still struggle with his accent and speech.
