Dave Rado Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? (76* d) RE: Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? 26 May 21


Thanks Steve - I guess I must have imagined a resemblance between those tunes.

I'm confused about something Jack wrote though. In one post he wrote:
Karen says Chappell's publication of this song predates his feud with the Scottish musical establishment, so there may not be any ulterior motive behind him cutting Motherwell out of the narrative
But in an earlier post Jack wrote:
Chappell's position that Scottish tradition was overrated runs right through PMOT. He was pretty unpleasant about it.
I don't understand how those two statements can both be right, given that Chappell only ever published the song in PMOT? The statement from Karen seems to me to imply that PMOT predated Chappell's feud with the Scottish musical establishment, but Jack's earlier statement seems to be to imply that his feud runs through PMOT. Presumably I must be misunderstanding something?

Dave
