The Red River is rising. Folks on its floodplain in North Dakota and Manitoba are in danger as often before.

The Red River of the North on the rampage again, but the Red River of the South is peaceful so far this year.

Many years ago I read that some Scots started to settle in a valley with Native American Indians, but the Indians threw the Scots out. The Scots named the valley "Red" for the "red men", aka, the Indians.
It was sort of a lament but I do not know exactly where the valley was perhaps in Colonial times? Bagpipe type or folk song?

Hello,

I'm trying to get in touch with John Garst. My name is Mike Tod, I'm a folk musician/ethnomusicologist from Canada, currently working on a 13-part podcast series on folk/oldtime musics in Canada, with one episode per province and territory. The Manitoba episode will be entirely focused on the song The Red River Valley.

John can you please contact me if you get this at [e-mail] I had a few questions for you regarding the microfilm version of Lady in Love that you found!

Thanks very much

Mike Tod

No chance that it originated on the Isle of Capri, is there ?

that song you are talking about is not the same tune but similar sung to the song red river valley. i only heard it ones on a radio show i listen to on radio scotland years ago and forgot about it. a recording by neil maclain is the only one i think it was made in 1928 but i have never seen it in shops. thank you verry much from joe.
