Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Uh-h-h Planxty? (35) RE: Uh-h-h Planxty? 15 Feb 99


Sean O Riada's theory was that it was based on a misreading of the Irish word SLAINTE written in uncials. His suggestion would make titles mean, "A Health to . . . ." whoever the tune was written in honour or praise of, eg Planxty George Brabazon or Planxty Fanny Powers or whoever.

Slainte,

Bobby Bob.
