GUEST,M Dixon Lyr Add: Dame Bruin by Larry Gorman (9) RE: Lyr Add: Dame Bruin by Larry Gorman 16 Apr 21


Dame Bruin is a very rare tune and was probably only known and sung in the community in which it was written. When Edward Ives collected it in 1957-8 he could only find four people who knew the song.

And here is a graphic showing the small area in which the song was written and collected. "Dame Bruin" was composed by Gorman some time in the 1870s and was collected in the 1950s.
