Lighter Tune Req: Smiling Little Lass (W. Owen Roe/Foggy?) (31) RE: Tune Req: Smiling Little Lass (W. Owen Roe/Foggy?) 09 May 24

Since Bunting mentions McKnight as his only source, presumably McKnight (or Bunting's own intuition) is the only basis for the phrase "Very Ancient."

A likely interpretation is that McKnight learned the anonymous tune from someone of his father's or grandfather's generation - or from someone who had done similarly.
