Thread Name: Lyr Req: Villikins & his Dinah: songs using tune
Subject: RE: Villikins & his Dinah: songs using tune
I saw all of the DT V & his D links already, and several of them are way too bawdy for my taste or the tastes of the group I'm performing in front of. What I'm looking for, as I stated are songs off the DT. "The Wee Magic Stane" is in the DT, and would be a fine choice, but is in Scots dialect, and way beyond my ability without help in that department. The Bodleian library looks to be a good source, but I'm also interested in 20th (and even maybe 21st) century lyrics. Weerover's list of Irish songs might help me as well, and I also appreciate the suggestions from Australia. If I forgot anyone, consider yourself thanked. Right now, I'm at 2 Irish, 3 English and 1 American, with 3 slots to be filled before the end of the year. I'm not sure I want to keep this up into 2005.

Thanks to all,

Joe
