Dave Rado Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? (76* d) RE: Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? 19 May 21

Many thanks to you both. I've PM'd Steve for the sheet music scan.

Interesting that there are so many documented American tunes for what was originally and English song - and yet, it seems, only one traditional English one! I hope I like it.

Also interesting to learn that Musgrave was an aristocratic family and that Lord Barnard and Musgrave were not necessarily based in Barnard Castle or Little Musgrave. So do you thing the "little" in "little Musgrave" in the song was a reference to his dimunuitive stature after all?
