Ewan McVicar | Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where? (100* d) | RE: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where? | 02 Jul 99 |
To thicken the plot, I've just found the statement in Emmerson's Rantin' Pipe and Tremblin String that "The jig Cock o' the North became the Irish Auntie Mary or the English Joan's Placket." Emmmerson transcribes Jaon's Placket, published 1817. On another Mudcat thread I learned that Irish fiddler Denis Murphy called the tune Chase Me Charlie. |
