Lovely story about that Pater
Ennis became a fluent Scots Gaelic speaker on his trips to the Hebrides, so when he and Lomax went together he acted as interpreter
The women doing the waullking were crazy out these two hansom young men and on Barra, they began to improvise a song about the hansom American with his fine hair, manly chin, broad shoulders, strong chest - right down to his big willie
Ennis knew what wa happening and said nothing and they sent the recording back to London where it was eventually played on air
The BBC received hundreds of complaints from irate Gaelic speakers about the "dirty song" (which I believe, is still in the BBC archive)
