Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Music from the F&I time period
Terry,

"Hot Stuff", "Over the Hills and Far Away" (4 versions, including one from the Beggers; Opera - 1703),"How Stands the Glass Around?" and "Twa Recruitin' Sergeants" are all in the DigiTrad (I've just checked - although the book "Songs and Music..."gives a longer version of "Hot Stuff) "Farewell to Lochaber" appears on the "Songs and Music..." record (along with all the rest except "Twa Recruitin' Sergeants" ), but the book will give you such little gems as "The British Bayoneteers" - a centre company parody/version of "British Grenadiers". I can't be definite about dates as I was always more interested in the Napoleonic period over the Seven Years War. If I get a chance, I try and fing some bits when I get home.

Regards

Walrus.
