Looking at LaMarca's 13, Nov 97 post above, and reading the Byker Hill notes re "Byker Hill," I concur that Carthy refers the great 9/8 Northumbrian tune as the "Drunken Piper." Couple o' questions there:

Please, however, refer to thread Lyrics to The Drunken Piper which refer to The midi at Contemplator

1. Is Carthy's "Drunken Piper" the same tune as the Gaelic "Drunken Piper?" Don't seem at all similar to me. Sorry, the only working clip I could find of it

2. At Clicky, the first line of "Drunken Piper" is given as "Far am bi mi fhìn is ann a bhios mo dhòchas." Would my USian ear have heard that in Edinburgh as the very popular song sounding like 'Para-he me hee?' I'd swear that that's the tune I often heard.
