Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mary Jane (Jim McLean)
Walking into a shop at Loch Ness in 1995 I was stopped in my tracks by the gorgeous music being played. It was the Massacre of Glencoe. I bought the tape, picked it out on the piano, had many friends listen to it. When email mentioning it to a recently found Scot kin, we googled it & found several have recorded it. It is the simple, folksy, warm harmonies & melody that got me. Didn't ken the words for some time - which are shocking. Sent me on a history search. Great Job, Jim McLean
