Subject: RE: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo? From: Taconicus Date: 27 Mar 13 - 12:48 PM Thanks, Sean L. I like the idea of using Ingonish (the place on Cape Breton Island) in the lyric, regardless of what the original singer who used Ingo meant. In has Ingo in it, and it's a real place that's both on the sea and "far across the briny sea" (if you're singing in Ireland or Scotland). |

Subject: RE: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo? From: meself Date: 10 Mar 18 - 11:56 AM Much as I like the idea of Ingonish, I seriously doubt it has any connection. Has anyone ever heard of Ingonish being shortened to 'Ingo'? It doesn't seem natural - the "o" is muted in the usual pronunciation of Ingonish: ING-guh-NISH. Furthermore, I think the writer/singer would have been trying for something that seemed a little more 'exotic'. |
