Ewan McVicar Lyr Req: Song of the Clyde (28) RE: LYR:?Dear Old Donegal/Song of the Clyde 08 Sep 99


The Song of the Clyde is very Scottish music hall.
I'd suggest music hall came from new urban elements intermingling with older town and country folksong elements - it's an area that is underresearched and undercontemplated.
The 'patter' verse of Song of the Clyde quoted from reflects the urban interest in 'patter' style conversation / wordplay.
Please, nobody ask me to explain further here. Each sentence above needs a chapter to explain if you don't already know what I mean. And I already spend too much typing here when I should be getting on with my work.
