Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Edinburgh songs
Ok Jack, no offence meant. I'll rephrase what I said. "Just one of the many Edinburgh songs not yet mentioned on ths thread is Davie Robertson's Star of the Bar". One of the many people who have been known to sing this was the late Charlie Strachan, who sang it in many a session at The Royal Oak, and other folk pubs in Edinburgh. There is a picture of him and a dedication to that effect in said Royal Oak.
And yes, Jack's website is a mine of information re Edinburgh songs and folklore.
