Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hush Hush / Smile in Your Sleep
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hush Hush and Inisheer
Two different pieces.  It is at times like this that the very useful "Digitrad and Forum Search", which you will find on the main Forum page, comes into its own.  Type inisheer into it, and hit "GO".  Then do the same for hush hush.  It really works!  Don't believe everything that you'll read about the background to the latter song (a modern piece set to an old tune, and not Jacobite), though; some people seem to believe that the Wicked English were responsible for the Highland Clearances, whereas the sad truth is that the main offenders were the Highland lairds themselves.
