Jim Carroll traditional songs - best for learning? (130* d) RE: traditional songs - best for learning? 05 Jan 19


The Duke of Athol's Nurse is on par with some of the best comedies ever written, though, as I'm now finding out, it's hard work trying to Anglicise it - I may have to settle for just listening to it (can't find a half-decent Utube version to link to)

I have to say that rejecting tragic ballads is missing out on the best depictions of human experience we have at our disposal - Tifties Annie, Sheath and Knife, The Cruel Mother... our oral traditions would be very much impoverished without them
