Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Manchester cornstalk
Will Noble (from the Holme Valley Tradition) also recorded a fine version of the Christmas Goose (Veteran Tapes VT124 In That Beautiful Dale), and according to the notes there although Arthur Howard was 'the most influential' of the local singers on Will, he first heard the Christmas Goose from Arthur's elder brother James Howard.
