GUEST,Julia L	Lyr Req: Old versions of Black Velvet Band (58* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Old versions of Black Velvet Band	13 Nov 24
Hello again- Joe, I'm not sure how to post the tune transcription here. please advise I plan to include this version in my second volume of Bygone Ballads which will feature the Irish tradition in Maine. Not finding much in the way of origins. Fred Brackett from Staceyville ME sang this on 05-10-1942 for Marguerite Olney/ Helen Flanders collection The original recording can be heard at https://archive.org/details/HHFBC_tapes_D26B Any info about earlier version would be welcome. I did find a reference to a 1796 broadside but nothing specific My easy ways have been failing me, but I can figure something out. I suppose an MP3 file is best. joe@mudcat.org
