Subject: RE: Settings of 'art' poems by folkies
Was the version of Danny Deever reported by Seayaker 3 or 4 posts back Peter Bellamy's set to Derwentwater's Farewell, or another setting?

I once asked Peter if he minded my singing it publicly, and he said he didn't see that he could have any sort of copyright on Kipling's words set to a traditional tune; but I said the fertile combination of combining them had been his idea. A nice point, we thought.
