We've been singing and sharing it for some time now and it weaves magic whenever it is sung. All we know is that someone called Pip shared it with a friend and that perhaps Pip wrote it; it starts Do you see the white hare? Standing still for a moment There are footprints there Underneath the earth The Lady is sleeping And the Lord of the wood is waiting... |

From: Herga Kitty No, but I do sing "Tracks in the snow", written by Steve Thomason and inspired by his childhood growing up on a farm in the Peak Distric, and referring to an Arctic hare (I still see the tracks of white hare in the snow).

Now, as for that song we were talking about, I get the impression it's of recent origin, not a traditional song. The only online reference I found was at http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/islandblogging/blogs/000081/archive/2005/03.shtml, which is the same excerpt posted in Belesta's post above. Where'd you come across the song, Belesta? -Joe Offer- |

From: GUEST,Paul Pearson The White Hare song was originally written and performed by a singer called Bronwyn David - I have the album on tape called, if memory serves me well (I don't have tapes to hand) Moonshine. The whole tape is a joy, and The White Hare is an old favourite, and I have an MP3 version of it. |

From: GUEST,Jackie Ord Hi Paul, I came across this song a few years ago and have been trying to find out where it came from. Do you still have the MP3 version and if so could you make it available? And do you have any information about Bronwyn David? I can't find anything on the web. I'm hoping to make a recording of it myself soon and would like to credit the writer. Thanks, Jackie www.jackieord.com |

I used to cover white Hare, with Bronwen's permission. I remember it was engineered and mixed by Nigel Shaw at 7th Wave Studios if that's any help. |
