Subject: RE: Folklore: supernatural gone from american songs
alright.. I give up..

been googling for the best part of a third of a bottle of Talisker
and still can't find a song i heard on a CD I borrowed
about 7 years ago.

I'm fairly certain it was Mike Seeger
and the song was something to do with a drowned girl
and maybe a fiddle bow or something similar
made from her rib bones..

this thread reminded me..

so i have a nagging memory it might be a pretty good example
of a definitely spooky yank folk song..

i meant to keep it as 'one for me to record one day'
but must have forgot some where along the way..
