GUEST,Bad Cuilionn, no biscuit	Yan Tan Tethera - more words in the count? (95* d)	RE: Yan Tan Tethera - more words in the count?	03 Mar 05
I'm sure I've posted this elsewhere, but might as well mention it again-- for folks with access to copies of the American film, "The Music Man," (written by Meredith Wilson about the stubborn citizens of an Iowa town, circa 1900), the "Yan Tan Tethera" bit shows up again, this time masquerading as a recitation of counting "in the Indian Language" at a town pageant. It's really rather bizarre to be watching a musical drama based in small-town America 100 years ago, and have a Lincolnshire (or proto-Anglo-Saxon or whatever) shepherd's rhyme leap out at you! --Cuilionn
