Lovely voice, crystal-clear diction. Played a sample from The Quaker Lover, and want to know what happens next. It starts:

Once there was a Quaker lover
Courted a Prez-bye-terian's daughter
Oh dear, oh dear me

Here's a ring cost many a shilling
Oh dear, oh dear me
Take it and wear it if thou art willing...

Now I'm on tenterhooks. What did the Prez-bye-terian's daughter say to her swain? I never believed there was a folk song with *no* entry in the Digitrad!
