Thread Name: Origins: Rose-Briar Motif
Subject: RE: Origins: Rose-Briar Motif
Lord Levett could well be a remake of the other. They tend to do as they please when it comes to music. But at least it's a true song. Look what it did to me right? I fell in love with it, I saw everything I saw in it. And I spent time with my Irish grandmother. Which brings to mind, they haven't figured out which one of the Dromore Castles inspired the lullaby. They might better wonder why there are four of them. And I hear there is a high chancel in Ludow...

We could talk about the other 9 which have this motif attached. I would argue first of all that Child ballad 73 & 74 should have been classified as the same ballad.

Now Steve, you know I was sparring with you right?
