I have a copy of the Sing Magazine article ...Hello.<br />I have a copy of the Sing Magazine article referred to on the liner notes to The Unfortunate Rake LP. It is in an archive at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.<br />It adds some detail to knowledge of the version sung by Lloyd on that LP, and confirms what I had begun to suspect, that he took the tune used from the fragment collected in Corke and called My Jewel My Joy. His rationale is to the effect that this is a bit similar to a version collected in the USA. I have played both versions and there isn't a similarity that I can see. He says how much he likes the My Jewel My Joy version, and that he finds the Streets of Loredo melody unremarkable. <br /><br />I have come to the conclusion that the song he sings on this LP is a composite that he made up himself, and believe one can trace where and work out why he got the various bits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161087185178996867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234078430535123877.post-53515959202200149312017-11-03T03:12:33.915-07:002017-11-03T03:12:33.915-07:00Hello.
