Sandy Paton Origins: Bunch of Thyme (15) RE: Bunch of thyme 23 Jun 99


I suspect the song in question is "THYME IT IS A PRECIOUS THING" in the DT (the second title that pops up when you ask simply for "thyme." You'll find a "bonny bunch" there. One of the major contributions of the Reeves books has been to remind us that Sharp kept all of his original notes, including the bawdy texts that he collected. He may have dressed many of them in polite language for fig-leafed publication (his were more restrictive times), but he did save them. Let's hear a rousing cheer for the man!
