Subject: Lyr Add: BONNIE TAVERN GREEN (from Paddy Tunney)^^ From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 30 Jul 02 - 11:59 AM No reason to be surprised; there are many thousands of traditional songs, and they can't all be here! It isn't a very common song; the only traditional example that I know of is the one from Paddy Tunney, who learned it from his mother, Brigid: BONNIE TAVERN GREEN Roud Folk Song Index number 3100. A number of commercially issued recordings of Paddy singing this song exist, on some of which the title is spelled Bonny Tavern Green. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bonny Tavern Green From: corvi Date: 30 Jul 02 - 12:32 PM Thank you! I used to have the album (Stone FIddle) but lost it in a break-up (he got the music I got the books) I actually thought it was pretty well known. I know Sheila Chandra recorded but I thought there were others. Anyway thanks muchly - Catherine |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bonny Tavern Green From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 31 Jul 02 - 12:02 AM When I called it an uncommon song, I meant that it's rare in tradition; I don't doubt that a lot of people have sung and recorded arrangements of the Tunney set, and that it would be well-known in that sense. No doubt many have just called it "traditional" without crediting their source (grinds teeth!) Obviously you know the tune, but I'd better add it for people who may come looking later on and who may not be familiar with it. A midi made from the notation in Paddy Tunney's book will find its way in time to the Mudcat Midi Pages; until that day, it can be heard via the South Riding Folk Network site: |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bonny Tavern Green From: corvi Date: 31 Jul 02 - 02:12 AM You'll be happy to know that I always credit my sources. In fact I once waited 15 years before singing a song in performance because I didn't know who I learned it from (taped it at a Willie Clancy week in 1984 and didn't meet the guy again til I went to the Inishowen Folksong and Ballad workshop in Donegal a couple of years ago) Thanks for your help Catherine |
