Thread Name: Origins: John Barleycorn Must Die
Subject: RE: History behind John Barleycorn Must Die
I found a long, erudite and (I suspect) rather tedious article about John Barleycorn in the 2004 edition of an EFDSS magazine at the weekend. Traced its history and compared versions. Didn't read it in full. Can't remember the name of the mag - possibly 'Folk Song in Britain'??
