GUEST,Jim Clark aka acoustcarchive channel at yout Bonny Keel Laddie (8) Bonny Keel Laddie 22 Feb 12

I am just about to upload another Northumbrian "Geordie" traditional song performed by Mike Wildes from my video archive to my acoustcarchive youtube channel and I am hoping again a mudcatter can explain the meaning of "Keel" in the Keel Laddie does it refer to a sailor or a docker ?

Thanks,and Heres hoping for an answer to a mystery that has eluded me ever since I recorded Mike in 1997.

If anybody knows any specific information about this songs origins I would love to know that to.

Thanks again

Bonny Keel Laddie performed buy Mike Wildes
