DRIMNDOO   DRIMMENDOO  The DT file was copied from the Max Hunter Collection, where a midi is available: Drimmendoo As sung by Fred Smith, Bentonville, Arkansas on June 23, 1958.

FANPOWER   FANNY POWER   Wrong title, wrong author credited, wrong tune prescribed. This song has nothing whatsoever to do with the extremely well-known and hackneyed Carolan tune so often described nowadays, anachronistically, as a "Celtic" waltz. Someone has, through ignorance or lack of judgement, grafted the latter onto the former at some point, changing the title of the song and the name of the heroine; and the person who posted the song here (twice) has innocently believed, and promulgated, the misinformation they were handed. I've revived the thread where it was posted (back in 1999), adding the correct information, tune, and text as intended by the man who wrote it.  Lyr Add: Fanny Power
