I've recorded morning doves in preparation for a version of The Cuckoo\Pretty Polly I've been working on. Near as I could gather, there are no cuckoos in North America, at least not as far north as I am. The morning dove is the American cousin and the song crossed the pond and came to nest in the mountains of Appalachia. I'm out on a limb on this. All puns aside, I am looking for corrections if I'm wrong on any of the above, ornithologically or musically. Maybe I've got it right. Maybe I'm just cuckoo.
