As far as I can make out there were 2 distinct versions of BA on the go in London in the 17th century. The well printed 'Scarlet Town' version I personally think is not the one, Mrs Knipp performed. I think she more likely sang the slightly more flowery 'Sir John Graeme' version printed by Ramsay a few decades later. This would better qualify for the descriptor 'Scotch'. But as they say, currently I have no proof of this, just a hunch. |
