Subject: Castle Knocking-Down Songs From: Mbo Date: 22 Aug 99 - 09:44 AM I once heard the great Kate Rusby describe a lot of her music as "Castle Knocking-Down Songs." So, I thought it would be interesting to learn what songs make you want to knock a castle down? "Scots Wha Hae" is the one I would personally pick. --Mbo |

Subject: RE: Castle Knocking-Down Songs From: Susan of DT Date: 22 Aug 99 - 11:10 AM In Child #93 Bo Lamkin, the unpaid carpenter or mason who worked on the castle takes revenge for his lack of wages by killing the lord's baby and wife. Not my favorite ballad. |

Subject: RE: Castle Knocking-Down Songs From: Susan-Marie Date: 23 Aug 99 - 12:41 PM I can't think of any castles I want to knock down at the moment, but if I could, I'd get in the mood by listening to "Donald McGillavry" and "Haughs of Cromdale". |

Subject: RE: Castle Knocking-Down Songs From: Ray Frank (inactive) Date: 23 Aug 99 - 01:59 PM There's a medieval German song which sings of 'setting the red hen to the cloister roof': a reference to burning the churches and religious institutions. Wonder if it'll catch on as a pastime? |
