Victoria	Changing the verses around? (12)	RE: Changing the verses around?	09 Jan 00
Great story Sean! I love that! I think that part of the beauty of the oral tradition actually IS that things get subtly (and sometimes not so subtly!LOL!) changed, to make them special for a particular singer, dialect, region, time frame etc. (for example, Appalchian or Civil War era treatments of traditional Irish or Scottish songs) that's all part of the music's history too. - Plus I love learnig "new" verses to old favorites! :-)
