[scots-l] Orain a Mhaigdean Mhara
I've heard the "Orain a Mhaigdean Mhara" (Lament of the Mermaid) a few times recently, and I think the reason is that it's been reprinted in an easily accessible book. Anybody know what? The tune seems to me to be related to the ground of the piobaireachd "The Lament for the Union", supposedly the only old piobaireachd written by a Lowlander, the piper to James VI, who composed it in 1603 when the court (and his job) went south. I guess it is just possible for him to have allegorized his position as that of a jilted mermaid... === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [scots-l] Official scots-l site
But what's happened to some of the old fowk? Gary Blair left the list because there wasn't enough traffic on it, which seems an odd reason indeed. But what happened to the likes of Philip Whittaker and are you still there, Chic? Does Erica still listen in? Jan Tappan? Haven't heard from Timothy for a while. Gary occasionally posts to rec.music.makers.squeezebox (a group I follow as I'm thinking of getting a CBA when I can afford it) but he seems to be too busy performing (and probably trying out his new Kravtsov box) to participate regularly. Philip was in touch with me by email a few months ago but I don't recall seeing him on a public forum since. === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

'Cos don't they realise it's not clever, Drinking Buckfast doon the river, Tucked in trackie bottoms, They look just f*c*ing rotten! I can't remember if I cried when I saw these bams in East Kilbride, But it amused me deep inside, the day the mucker thrived!

Huv ye gubbed 5 ectos fur a night at the Metro? And can you teach me how to speak reeeaaa slow?! You can tell that she's in love wi' him, 'Cos he's fae Ibrox and she's a Tim, They both kicked off their socks and those manky old Reeboks.

But while the cop was looking dapper, The wee bam chibbed him on the napper, Dressed all in Kappa clobber, As he shouted, "suck ma dobber!".

Baseball hats at stupid angles, The girls each wore three dozen bangles, Hair done up with scrunchies, Munching crisps and Crunchies.
