[scots-l] uploads
I have uploaded a short essay on Scottish lute music which might be of interest. I have also uploaded a Scottish Lute and Guitar Discussion Board, a dedicated forum for those with an interest in those subjects. Go to: http://www.robmackillop.com and click on either The Scottish Lute or Discussion Board on the sidebar. Any problems, get in touch with me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Happy Christmas!

No "e" for C Sharp, and he never collected Scottish Ballads, but Confined his collecting to the south of England (mostly Somerset) and the southern Appalachians:-) He was, however, in touch with Greig and Duncan at the time when they were collecting in Aberdeenshire. Nicolas B., Lanark, Scotland. I see we have Charles Kilpatrick Sharpe, Sir Cuthbert Sharp and Cecil Sharp to straighten out. There goes my name again... Bruce rightly corrects Nicholas B on the C Sharpe mis-criticism, but he's slipped a Kilpatrick in there instead of a Kirkpatrick. My Christmas card mis-addressing count is currently about 9:1 Kilpatrick verses Kirkpatrick, but getting locals NOT to call me Kirkpatrick is almost impossible. This is helped by the local paper managing the error with great consistency when reporting our folk sessions. My family's Lanarkshire (Motherwell/Wishaw/Netherton) but over here in the eastern borders the name is hardly known. 100 years before C K Sharpe's time, the two names were written freely and interchangeably and sometimes signed by the same individual twice in different ways on the same day. By the 1800s this had reduced and today the Kirkpatrick name is considered mainly associated with Closeburn (Castle) and the south Lanarkshire, Dumfries/Galloway families while Kilpatrick is associated with Lomondside, Glasgow, Clydesdale and Ulster. Cospatric, which sounds like a a variety of lettuce, is Dunbar and fallen out of use. It's easy to get names mixed up when there are too many which sound the same. I once wrote a prominent county magazine article which made Orlando Gibbons the bloke who carved the woodwork at Chatsworth, and I'm sure C K Sharpe has been credited with the invention of the bicycle more than once.

We've been through this one before either here or on UK Rec Folk where the same thing happened to Jack Campin when he mentioned C K Sharpe in a reply.
