Thread Name: Origins: Rose of Tralee - anything to add ...?
Subject: RE: Rose of Tralee; anything to add ...?
Although I have lived in Yorkshire for nearly 31 years now, I am not a Yorkshireman. It takes longer than that. In the same way, The Rose of Allandale is not an Irish song, though it has doubtless been sung there, in the form into which the Copper family moulded it (and which Nic Jones further modified) for nearly the same amount of time. You're still splitting hairs, McGrath! We may as well let it drop, though, and agree to differ, as that discussion really doesn't belong in this thread. :^)
