Thread Name: Origins/Add Versions Shallow Brown
Subject: RE: Origins/Add Versions Shallow Brown
Anybody want to share the Davis & Tozer - that's: Davis, J. & Tozer, Ferris: SAILOR SONGS, OR "CHANTIES". Boosey & Co., Ltd., London, 1887 - version of "Shallow Brown"? Hugill gives the first verse and the tune. Is there more? And do they talk about where their version comes from?

Also, I'm still looking for Edith Fowke's version entitled "Shiloh Brown". Where does it come from in Nova Scotia (or beyond), and what is the date?

I appreciate any help on this.
