Bill D Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? (76* d) RE: Tune Req: Trad. English tune for Little Musgrave? 05 Aug 21

In over 70 versions I have, the only one... so far.. that seems to 'feel' like a different tune is Jeannie Robertsons. She sings more slowly than most others and put her own stamp on it.

I will gradually explore a few others, but the Nic Jones tune seems to dominate.


Now... I just listened to the Martin Carthy version from above, and it is a bit like Robertson's. I am not a scholar of these things..only a collector.. but I wouldn't be surprised if Carthy hadn't heard and played with Robertson's.

   In any case, I enjoy those more than the faster versions with over-done, twangy, guitar.
