Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: Senoufou Date: 25 Jan 18 - 03:20 AM Hahaha Tattie, I absolutely loved that song! (And I didn't need a translator either!) I particularly liked the line 'When sober sae soor, ye'll fecht wi a flee'. There's a children's programme on CBeebies called 'Abney and Teal'. They have a little friend called 'Neep' (and he is a neep) We're looking forward to our haggis tonight (and the neeps, which we'll get today at Tesco's with a bit of luck) |

Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: GUEST,keberoxu Date: 11 Mar 18 - 12:56 PM Apropos Tattie Bogle's submission of Toddlin' Hame: I wasn't aware that Franz Josef Haydn wrote an arrangement of this. It's for baritone voice, accompanied by violin, cello, and keyboard. |
Subject: RE: Any Burns Night doings in UK? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 13 Mar 18 - 08:18 PM There was a big thing going between Robert Burns' publisher, George Thomson and Haydn: quite a long and devious story. Maybe best to Google it if you are interested, as too long and involved to spell it all out here! Beethoven involved somewhere too. |
