Sandy Paton Lyr Req: The False Fly (58* d) RE: The False Fly 14 Mar 99


What about Cecil Sharp's "Swannanoa Town-O" when the singer was actually giving him "Swannanoa Tunnel?" Had me confused until A. L. "Bert" Lloyd pointed out the error to me one night at the Princess Louise in London. I got a lovely "Gaberlunzie Man" from Jeannie Robertson in Aberdeen, but only now do I learn what the term may have meant. Of course, Jeannie didn't call it that. Takes a scholar to make that kind of an error. (add a "grin" here, or maybe one of Catspaw's decorative parenthetical sketches).
