cobber Origins: Yankee Doodle - an old source (22) RE: Lyr Add: Yankee Doodle - an old source 03 May 03

I don't have it with me but, of all places, Isaac Asimov wrote one of his "Black Widowers" mystery stories around the origins of the song and he went into a lot of details on the meaning of "macaroni etc. I can't remember the details now but it was very interesting and as Asimov was a writer who researched well as his pride wouldn't cope with people telling him he was wrong, it is probably worth finding.
