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. +Angr 15:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hammered dulcimer
[edit]hammer dulcimer in the first paragraph should be corrected to read hammered dulcimer.
