Arkie, now I don't remember the right name, I thought I did yesterday. A fantastic autoharp player anyhow.

George Seto : there's some info. on "A' Bhean Eudach", the most well-known name for the Gaelic song you mention in the Horpa thread (clickable link in third posting from top). And at Horpa you'll get a link to An Bhean Udaí Thall lyrics. To my mind the Gaelic song isn't a version of the Two Sisters. Of course there may be some historical connection, but the two women aren't related in the Gaelic song and I don't think there are any versions with the story of the drowned woman's body being made into a musical instrument. And in the Gaelic song, the drowned woman is always a mother; as far as I'm aware she's always a fiancee in the English-lang. and Scandinavian versions of Child 10. I've heard a few well-known singers introduce the Gaelic song as being a story of two sisters, but they were introducing versions collected by Margaret Fay Shaw and by Frances Tolmie for which the informants had specified that the jealous woman was a neighbour (in Irish versions of the story which accompanies the song in this 'cantefable' she's usually a servant).
