29 Oct 16 - 02:35 PM (#3817084) Subject: RE: Six studies in English Folksong info From: Steve Gardham Thanks to Tim listened to the Youtube recording. That tune is better known as 'Lord Franklin' or 'McCaffery' and is different to the tune I sing which I believe came from the EFDSS journals. On reflection I like the Franklin tune better but I already sing that anyway. |
