Hey Murray! Daur ye dae doon Rab Burns?? I tend to agree with you about titivated italian-trained tenors and their pairtners trying to sing Scots songs in an Oxford accent, but don't hammer the song lyrics because of abysmal interpretation. I could check Serge Hovey's research to see if the "popular" melody is the one chosen by Burns ---but I hae-nae got time right now. The song lyrics, by the way, are actually describing the raither nippy taste of immature whisky. Boab
