"I sing Hind Horn too; don't think the bridegroom was too happy with the ending, though."

Well, two happy folks out of three (and not a single corpse) ain't bad for a Child ballad. The beggar got a fancy coat out of it as well. Willie O' Winsbury's a good romantic choice, although I'm a bit worried about his future father-in-law's barely disguised hots for Willie.

Unfortunately I can't make the first one since I'm accompanying the very talented Dave Ruch to a gig over this side of the Pennines. Next time, I hope. And thanks Paul for the plug for 'Trial & Triumph'.
