Sorry guys. The title is in jest, the question, sincere. I'm a Celt. I can do that.
The reason for asking in the first place is that it really sticks in my craw to give some collector credit for songs which he has merely translated and adapted. I could go out tomorrow and adapt any number of songs from the Romance Languages. That doesn't make them mine. If all Hugh Roberton did in 1938 was to re-arrange a Gaelic song, why shouldn't it be public domain?
