Subject: RE: Origins: 'The Shepherd's Wife'...Robert Burns??
Thanks so much, Michael! I think I have my needs covered, but I'll keep it in mind. ;)
I appreciate the reassurance. I was afraid that if I attributed it to "trad" I'd get flak from the Burns crowd for not giving him credit (like the fiasco over "Loch Tay Boat Song" ;)) but if I attributed it to Burns I'd get it from the "Every Scottish song wasn't written by Burns you know!" side. I think I'll put "Burns/trad". ;)
