MartinNail	Lockerbie concert Cowdeknowes (9)	RE: Lockerbie concert Cowdeknowes	08 Nov 20
There is a video on YouTube of Archie Fisher performing the Allan Ramsay song 'How blythe ilk morn was I to see' (Roud 8709), so I assume that's what he perfomed on the occasion in question. And there's one of Silly Wizard doing the same song. The song was very popular and printed in lots of Scottish songbooks in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but doesn't seem to have shown up after that until the 1970s. One of the first to record it was Archie Fisher -- was he in fact the first? And was he the first to change the sexes or the protagonists to make it a man's song rather than a woman's?
