Thread Name: Scarborough Fair: uncorrupting the corruptible
Subject: RE: Scar. Fair uncorrupting the corruptible
Yeah, a cherry seed is known as a 'stone'. A cherry without a stone is a cherry blossom, probably.
That Captain Wedderburn's Courtship song is very similar to the riddle song I heard on a children's album somewhere. Scarborough Fair is quite different, though.
