Way way back in 1979 - the English singer Dave Paskett made a recording (LP in those days...) called Pasketry...Much of it were songs he had written or adapted, many were Humorous...but the last song was - I Loved a Lass...it is great and one of the only serious songs on the recording.
Dave no longer sings and plays, but is one of the UK's best Painters/Artists.
