Thread Name: folk song carriers
Subject: RE: folk song carriers
That's great, debils - any songs that have come down through that many "g"s deserve to be sung. I recognise most of the titles, but to have them as a family heritage is tremendous. My only connection with the real tradition is by adoption, as it were - I live in the village once home to Phil Tanner, aka "the Gower Nightingale", right opposite his local pub. I'm still waiting for the effect to show in my singing!
