Burns songs[edit]

The article says

all the songs of Robert Burns, some being folk songs, some Burns's own compositions,

As he is described as a poet but not a singer, this could easily mean

all the songs of Robert Burns -- those he composed, and his poems for which folk singers set tunes --

but research is needed to support any coherent interpretation of the existing language.

Brogue[edit]

She has a beautiful, strong, Sco'ish brogue. She's said (at least at the Fox Hollow Folk Festival, and perhaps more than once -- Prairie Home Companion?) that many non-Scots (esp Yanks?) assume her comprehension of standard English is limited (which is not all the case) and consequently speak to her with exaggerated slowness and volume; she says, with parodic intent, that she's got an accent, but that doesn't make her either deaf nor stupid. Perhaps the brogue, if not the patter can be documented.

Probably especially Americans. A friend of mine from (an English-speaking part of) County Donegal went to graduate school in the U.S. and reports that people there sometimes complimented him on how well he spoke English. +An gr 15:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hammered dulcimer[edit]

hammer dulcimer in the first paragraph should be corrected to read hammered dulcimer.
