13 Apr 01 - 05:43 PM (#440034) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: Bernard Gordon Bennett! Where have you been hiding? ;o) Round these parts, it's been the subject of many a thread!! Rather than me make it easy for you, and spoil the fun, why not try a 'SuperSearch' - you'll be amazed at what you find!!
And if you like whatever you find |

13 Apr 01 - 06:07 PM (#440056) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: Bernard I suspect a wind-up. The ien143@aol.com email address is a fake!! I tried it, and this is what I got:

COME CLEAN, MATEY!! |

13 Apr 01 - 08:16 PM (#440119) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: Willie-O Matty Grovessung by Morag McNairnay in a derelict schoolbus on a mountainside in BC. Guitar parts, including my best electric Fairport imitation, by me. Apologize for the commercial, it's automatic and of course shameless. Duh, what's a windup? Willie-O |

14 Apr 01 - 05:06 AM (#440316) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: Fiolar Is "Matty Groves" another version of "Little Musgrave"? They both seem to have the same story line. |

14 Apr 01 - 09:19 AM (#440366) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: Susan of DT Yes, Fiolar, they are the same song, both Child #81. When you find a Child or DT number on a song (toward the bottom), you can search on that #whatever to find other versions of the same song. |

14 Apr 01 - 09:34 AM (#440371) Subject: RE: Matty Groves From: GUEST,Not a song writer Since this thread seems to have started as a troll (though it has lead to some interesting posts), and given the talent here - can someone write a song called "Batty Droves", - could describe the well meaning folk who take the bait. Taking control and redirecting the thread, however, does seem very effective (and I don't mean to suggest those who have posted are batty - just seems a good song title. NaSW |

Applied to humans it usually indicates a mischievous (?!)intent to provoke someone, often to make them 'lose their cool'.

I'm not the only one getting impatient to see 'Musa Proterva' published. I sent Murray some notes on P. Buchan's sources for some of the songs in SSS, and Murray is pretty close to a microfilm copy of that source. |
