Subject: RE: CORNISH SONGS
Cornish Dialect and Folk Songs by Ralph Dunston could well have used by Mr Penna, former teacher at Padstow Primary, Organist at St Petroc.

He taught the kids 12 songs from it and they performed it publicly in 1990. My daughter was in the chorus, aged 10-11.

I was given a copy by chance by another source shortly after and I was able to learn and perform The Tinners and once did Truro Agricultural Show

R D also was editor of the Cornish Song Book

Mo Keist ' Little Mo' to us sings Cornish Kitchen

Cornish lads By Roger B is becoming more widely sung out of county.

A new song to emerge is a song of Transportation to Slavery in Virginia by Ray Delf of Padstow

Does Larry Mac's Queen of the May deserve inclusion, and also how about Steve Knightley's Cousin Jack?
