Subject: RE: Help: real origin of Wild Mountain Thyme
That verse oggie was definitly written by F McPeak Jr. added after the dreath of his wife back in the 70s
McPeak Sr only claimed to have written the _song_ ie: the words, not the tune. I'd the privelige of learning the tune from the McPeak Sr himself at a session in the old Sunflower Folk Club in Belfast in the early 80s.
