I think it was only ever published as a sheet in 1907. In Henderson's book it's referred to, called "The Spey in a Spate" - I don't think the original sheet has "a." Astonishingly, many of Skinner's original sheets are still published and available - I've seen one or two in Rae Mackintosh in Edinburgh, and quite a few in Wilkie's of Perth. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
