Subject: RE: looking for pre 1840 songs
There are many versions of "Over The Hills And Far Away" which dates back to Queen Anne but recently used by John Tams on the series Sharpe's Rifles; it's a great song and there are a couple of American versions listed on the DT search lyrics. It would help if you were to let us know the theme of the black powder event. Locally we have a club that has the Mountain Men theme and some French English re-enactment groups, so there are several songs in French and English they use... Over The Hills And Far Away is my favourite..Yours, Aye. Dave
