Thread Name: Original Music That Sounds Traditional?
Subject: RE: Original Music That Sounds Traditional?
Hi Jerry. It's no secret. The Scots poet is Robert Louis Stevenson. The poems I liked so well as a child are in "A Child's Garden of Verses". You can find the volume easily at the bookstore.

Of course he's known better as the author as such novels as "Kidnapped" and "Treasure Island". But his poems give such a tender portrayal of the wonders of the child's world.

It is my hope to record my RLS songs along with some traditional children's music from Scotland and that area. It should be fun.
