Thread Name: Nyth y gwcw [Cuckoo's nest]
Subject: RE: Nyth y gwcw [Cuckoo's nest]
I learned that Nyth a Gwcw from two Welsh musicians, but they called it Nyth a Gog. The B part of Nyth a Gwcw shares a few measures with the A part of Jacky Tar, but I think they are different enough to be considered two different tunes.
For those not familiar with Welsh, w can sound like u, so that Gwcw is pronounced goocoo - obviously cuckoo.
