The person in whose persona the song was written was probably a fisherman - if the song was writrten today he'd be a roustabout or tool-pusher. |

29 Apr 07 - 10:03 PM (#2039117) Subject: RE: Help: Where is Tarwathy From: Malcolm Douglas See the earlier thread, as I recommended 5 years ago. "Troubador" has merely resurrected an old, forgotten stub in order to repeat information which was already here in a more accurate and detailed form. People who don't know any better do that regularly. Occasionally new and worthwhile information comes up as a result, but usually the exercise is just a pointless waste of time. |
