pam	Origins: She Moves through the Fair (168* d)	RE: She Moves Through the Fair	01 Jun 99
Hello out there... I'm stepping out onto the thread for the first time with my little circus umbrella over my head for balance, so try not to laugh me off the page for this. I'm brand new to traditional music, and I love She Moves Through the Fair as well. I just can't get it out of my head that it's fundamentally the same song as My Lagan Love (except for a lovely chord change in the b figure of Lagan). They're both very sweet and I've been wondering whether there's something in the origin of the two that accounts for the similar melody...Ah well to paraphrase Father Mulcahy in MAS*H, "...i'ts all just Sleepy Lagoon played fast." By the way, it's pretty amazing that there's a place like this to have this sort of conversation!! Nice to be here. Pam
