From: Barry When I first heard the Highlander's Lament, a friend & I decided to learn it, he already knew most of it & was really teaching it to me, until we came to the verse where he sang about Brioccoli More, what's that, says I, Idon't know, a place where they grow broccoli in Scotland, no way they're singing about the broad claymore, the mighty 2 handed sword. His name I'll withhold, he may be readind, but it's one of my fondest folk music moments. Barry |

22 Jan 98 - 11:21 PM (#19731) Subject: RE: Definitions Please ?? From: Bruce O. racifimento. I took this old expression to be a remake of something. Old setting, and old characters, and go off in the same general direction as far as plot goes with a new song. |

23 Jan 98 - 06:28 AM (#19753) Subject: RE: Definitions Please ?? From: Wolfgang latest guess: it's Italian and it's "rifacimento" |

23 Jan 98 - 10:42 AM (#19759) Subject: RE: Definitions Please ?? From: Jon W. rifacimento in Italian would be "remaking". On the other hand, if you take those little red things out of the middle of green olives, and roll them down a slope to see which one reaches the bottom first, that would be "racing pimentoes." Har har har. |

23 Jan 98 - 05:20 PM (#19772) Subject: RE: Definitions Please ?? From: Alan of Australia G'day, From my 1971 (English) Encyclopedic World Dictionary:- rifacimento n., pl -ti. a recast or adaption, as of a literary or musical work. [It.: a remaking. ...] Cheers, |
