I know very litle about fiddle tunes, but in Ceolas, with several entries, Philo followed by a number occurs. Example: ALE IS DEAR, THE, Scottish, reel, B minor Standard AAB. Trad-------------- Philo 1042, Boys of the Lough - "The Piper's Broken Finger" (1942). Is "Philo" a listing in this reference? |

From: GUEST The Boys of the Lough recorded several albums in the 1970s on the Philo Record label, including The Piper's Broken Finger (Philo 1042). At the time, Philo Records was an independent company in North Ferrisburg, Vermont, about 12 miles south of Burlington. It was named after the nearby Mt. Philo. Philo Records went bankraupt in the early-1980s and was bought by Rounder Records. |

From: greg stephens A small town in California doesnt seem an obvious candidate for naming an old English(??) fiddle tune after, but it could be. It's not a seaport is it? Is the Californian one named after somewhere else, perhaps, and if so where? Anybody got accesss to local history information? |
