Mark Cohen	Barbagal/Daddy Fox - which came first? (16)	RE: Barbagal/Daddy Fox - which came first?	18 Aug 05
Well, Malcolm, I may be slow, but at the risk of beating a dead fox, I'm not sure it's been answered completely. I can see that this version of "Daddy Fox" is a fitting of the words to the old fox and goose song into "Carrion Crow." But what about "Barbagal"? I suppose it could be the same thing, somebody putting new Piemontese words to "Carrion Crow." But couldn't it also be the other way around? To my uneducated ear, the chorus of "Carrion Crow," Hey, falero, gil fin-a-garo Hey, falero, gil fin-a-gay, sounds like it could very well derive from an Italianate original like E foli, fola, follero, e follero, lero li. Aloha, Mark
