Subject: RE: Help: The Unfortunate Rake
When I say 'I know I done wrong' ending in the Crapshooters, I don't mean literally, I mean the sentiment/theme, in the Crapshooter this is developed in terms of going to hell and being controlled by the devil. I read a novel by Scottish folklorist/tradition bearer Margaret Hogg's son, James, which develops this belief via a character. James Hogg also collected folk songs, working with Scott. He played fiddle.
Sorry, going off at a tangent. Too much sun. Bring back winter!
