Thread Name: Flanders ballad in Polish--fun project!
Subject: RE: Flanders ballad in Polish--fun project!
Thanks Mary. I appreciate your spirit and your participation. I'm tickled you are putting on a greeting in Polish. Could you also give me the text written out? Sounds like your tune might be one folks would like to try to sing.

One of the side benefits of this project is the chance to have a good look at the "Two Sisters", noting where the ballad meandered and how the story underwent an international folk process. The Poles have told my friends they think they know how the ballad originated. This should be interesting.
