GUEST,henryp Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) (126* d) RE: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) 12 Aug 24


henryp; But did they not recognise that it wasn't actually a Scots tune?

Jack Campin; They've never confined themselves to Scots material. Look at Nigel Gatherer's site, he included lots of (better) Americana early on.

Nigel Gatherer's wonderful collection does indeed have a large number of tunes under the heading American Music but, oddly, Ashokan Farewell is included in The Scottish Collection under Airs & Song Airs.
