Tradsinger	Tradsinger seeks gigs (UK) (41)	RE: Tradsinger seeks gigs (UK)	24 Mar 13
Hello Murray, This is a version of Fathom the Bowl that I recorded from a traditional singing family in Hampshire, not one that I got from a book or CD. The family still sings it to that tune. Of course I knew (and sang) the Watersons version before I came across this version, but was delighted to find the song in Hampshire in about 1973. As proof, check out http://www.forest-tracks.co.uk/hampshirevoices/media/petersfieldvideos.html ,look at the video marked hadendoddandjohndodd and listen to the audience trying to join in with their version! I am actually dubious of the word "collected", as it sounds like taking something away from someone. What I have done over many years is to record songs from source singers and sing them myself. Hope that clarifies things. Tradsinger
