Thread Name: Rosebud in June - age?
Subject: RE: Rosebud in June age?
Thanks for the input. I'll probably just say it dates to mid-18th century or earlier.
As for the other selections, it's been a fun challenge. As it's a very general audience, I wanted a combination of familiar and unfamiliar, plus a couple for the kiddies.
General sheep-farming songs: From the Lambing to the Wool (Judy Small) Now I'm Easy (Eric Bogle) Broom of the Cowdenknowes Waltzing Matilda
More specific to the processes: Click Go the Shears Tarry Wool Spinning Wheel
Children's songs: Baa Baa Black Sheep Mary Had a Little Lamb
I would have liked to pin down a weaving song, but time was limited and I could only learn so many new songs in the time.
