You may be asking, Ermm... Marion why are you collecting yet another new research subject?
I have been inspired by singing around the lanterns this weekend, yes lanterns, there was a burn ban on so no campfires. I sang along with some of the Irish folk tunes (Poteen (pron. Pucheen) and Follow me up to Carlow) that Baron Fiach was singing, much to his surprise since they are, in his words "Some of the more eccentric ones". My Mom and I used to sing along with these songs when they were on the radio and tapes that we had growing up. Its been over 10 years since I sang either of those songs, yet I remembered every verse once the song got started. I used to sing all the time, doing chores and just being around the house, I can't remember why I stopped. Oh yah, I moved into my grandparents house where quiet was the rule, not singing.
So now I am looking for music, 1500-1600, that would have been sung around the house and the fire, so next time I can sing something for the group that my persona would have sung.
