Thank you, bbc! I didn't see this message on the night, but I was able to wing it pretty well at Sharps; I just said that if anybody had any informtion about this version, please to see me at the break, because I would sure like to know! :-)

Hi, Gwenzilla,

I fear this may be too late, but, perhaps, it will help for future performances.

Gordon writes: I found this version of the old "John Barleycorn" in George McKay Brown's book, An Orkney Tapestry, among other traditional poems & songs. It wasn't clear in the book, but it is my guess that, because of the style & poetry of it, this is not a traditional version, but Mr. Brown's own personal version.

I built the tune for it in 1986, including the variations which allow it to follow the words more clesely.

Enjoy,

bbc

Or just go to the website, look up the phone number, and call them. I am quite sure they will be very happy to assist. You have never met lovelier folks.

I have the CD but it didn't come with liner notes. There's a separate book that you have to order from Folk Legacy. It seems that I haven't done that yet. If it's not too late you may want to send an e-mail to Sandy and Caroline Paton.

I've misplaced my liner notes for "And So Will We Yet". I have a guest spot at Sharps in London tonight, and I'm performing the version of John Barleycorn I learned from that CD. Can someone with a copy of the liner notes share the historical/collection information about that version with me here? My memory for what's in the notes is sketchy except that they appear to have found this version in Canada.
