Subject: RE: 'There Were Roses' Query
Dear Den, I don't think the workworld is getting much value from me either today! I have the tape with me today, and it still doesn't sound right. I can't believe an Ulster accent (I had an Ulster greatgrandpapa) would pronounce "Camlough" with a "bri" in it -- as far as I can hear. Unless there is a slang local version? If you have the album at home, you might check it out with your local ears. Also, is it Alice fair, or Alice Fail (or Phail)?Nag, nag.
yours, Peter T.
