Thread Name: Common Scots songs 60 years ago
Subject: RE: Common Scots songs 60 years ago
"The Old Rugged Cross" In the west of Scotland until 30yrs. ago no gathering was spared until someone had sung this one.
"Dark Lochnagar" is a tremendous favourite with men who have imbibed, interesting this one when one considers the composer. Women in general, in Scotland, 60 years ago did not visit pubs.
"The Bonnie Wells o Wearie"
"Bonnie Scotland I Adore Thee" This was recorded in the early 1930s by a chap billed as Glasgows Tramway Tenor. Anyone, out there, with a copy of this 78rpm I would be pleased to hear from by PM.
"Willie's Gane Tae Melville Castle"
