Thread Name: Willie's Lady:more info?
Subject: Willie's Lady:more info?
I heard the english version of the Breton song'" Son ar Chiste", and found the lyrics on the Digitrad (thanks,Elves,once again...).The information given there is a little bit coincise,I was wondering if anybody could tell me some more.Who (Not the name:the actual person,who was he,was he a performer,was he English or Irish or Scottish or American?!)was the man who adapted the lyrics,when?!And the poem used for the new lyrics, where does it come from and how old is it?!I imagined this version to be fairly old as well, and traditional,but apparently is not older than the first half of the 20th century...Thanks whoever helps.
