Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Two Brothers
I was wrong -- Bronson does have pretty much the same tune that Rosalie uses; it's #17 -- Sharp MSS 3458 / 2547. Also in Sharp and Karpeles, 1932, I, pp 65 (A)-66. Sung by Mrs Lizzie Roberts and Mrs. Smith (but Rosalie doesn't use Mrs. Smith's "variant"), Hot Springs, NC, 1916. All this documentation by way of Bronson of course. Now to do some collating myself.....
