Turlough: In what year did MacKintosh record the song ? I heard Oscar Brand do it 30 years ago. Kytrad is a very close friend of Oscar Brand. In addition, she is a respected authority on folk music as well as a legendary performer in her own right. The times that I heard Oscar do the song, she appeared on the same program with him. If she says it is Oscar's song, I think she knows what she is talking about. SOL ZELLER
