JesseW Tune Req: High Barbary (The Three Bums - Kent) (13) RE: Tune Req: High Barbary (The Three Bums - Kent) 09 Dec 09


I'm surprised not to find it in the Digitrad, but *The Coasts of High Barbary* is an old ballad, to the tune of one of the Child ballads. I learned the tune from a filk (Science Fiction fandom parody) of it called "High Barratry" about the folks who tried to steal Linux. Regarding the original, there is more information (and a MIDI) on this page from
Lesley Nelson-Burns' (aka the Contemplator)'s Folk Music Site
(WebCite copy). Hope this helps!
