GUEST,karen Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues (290* d) RE: Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues 15 Nov 17


So that I now have 2 good reasons for not treating the Leniham version as an independent line:)

1 Odd that after over nearly 70 years of folkloric writing claiming Irish origins a song representing a whole line should suddenly appear

2 The singer said his version came from America.

Taking a break from this for a while!

It has been interesting, lots ideas shared. Cheers.
