Subject: RE: Origins: Coulter's Candy From: GUEST Date: 15 Oct 23 - 11:43 AM robert gorberg of galashiels of the borders rote this song for advertising this chocolate for a jingle there was no such thing as recording songs but when the song came more remembered was when in 1956 this jingle was sung by roddy macmilan ho recorded a lot of children's songs and bbc programs for children. in his recording he sings two verses that were written by him the first was written in 1852. my friend martin was not happy when ronny brown sed of the passing away of roy williamson in that year trip to the royal blind school ronny brown talked about the song and sung others. the advert jingle had ten verses but i do not no ho wrote all of them a pam 1 and 2 and 3. i do think brown might have written at least 3 other verses but not 1 2 or the third a lady who taut me the guitar at school many years ago was working for the old folks had sed that we did a song about her being 160 using the same tune with 6 verses in 1997 i learned the song on my guitar but could not get the right cords. martin my friend rote the first verse and more and made it in to a new song set to the same tune of the folk song worth other words written by one of her family. from joe |
