Thread Name: Origins: William Taylor
Subject: RE: Origins: William Taylor
I learned William Taylor from Unto Brigg Fair many years ago when the LP first came out and still sing it

The main point is that the song was and in my view should be sung in the Lincolnshire dialect (at least this version) for greater authenticity ~ yes recorded by Percy Grainger on wax cylinder originally (Joseph Taylor)

I have heard and find Billy Taylor version is a better joiner in and moves along quite quickly
