Irish Rover | Stories behind the Old Scottish Ballads (46) | RE: Stories behind the Old Scottish Ballads | 10 Apr 00 |
BruceO Please recall that many old celtic songs were written on the run,as it were, by shannachie's spreding the word. addapted to old pipe tunes,or something running through their head at the time. then you have R.Burns who used what ever tune amused him. folk-process is an on going thing from way back to tomorrow. Also W.B Yeats poem "O'Driscoll came from some ancent song(which I can not find)and he returned it to a poem. |
