Thread Name: Orange song sound files on line
Subject: RE: BS: ORANGE SONG SOUND FILES ON LINE
There's a bit of humor to be found in song titles on occasion. For example; we do a tune called the "Dumore Lasses". One of our members went on-line looking for it and found several versions, each different, and each also known as either the "Fairies Hornpipe" or the "King of the Fairies". My personal favorite, which I would like to dedicate to Conrad, and three alternative names: "Dunmore Lasses - King of the Faeries - William of Orange". I have encountered sly references to his appetites in various readings, but this was the first time I ever encountered such a thing in tune titles. *BG*
