Thread Name: Arlo Guthrie's Lass of Glenshee
Subject: RE: Arlo Guthrie's Lass of Glenshee
There is no such thing as Arlo Guthrie's Lass of Glenshee. TLOG is a traditional song which is found extensively in Ireland, Scotland and North America.
My guess, FWIW is that Guthrie learned it directly or indirectly from Len Graham's LP Ye Lovers All. Claddagh. CC 41. Where Len got it, I do not know, but he is always scrupulous about naming his sources, so it will doubtless be in the sleevenotes.
Whatever, TLOG does not belong to Arlo Guthrie. It belongs to all of us.
