cont. (ie, June 14.)

As to June 3rd, you should know that this year, Whitsun falls today. And there are a very large number of songs that take place on Whitson. One of the best known is the modern "(Ladies Go) Dancing At Whitsun." However, a favoorite of mine also does: Ae Whitsun day in Huntley toon, It's there I did agree,/ Wi' Bogie, head o' Carnie a six months for tae fee., etc. There's even a Child Ballad that uses Whitsun, #119.

Any other days you're especially interested in, just ask.

Ah, Malcolm...I'd forgotten this came up here in the prior thread you mention. thanks.
