Whilst trawling the net for music I can attempt to play on my 'geetar' I came across a site which featured 'American Folk Songs.'
One of the songs was 'Scarborough Fair' Please tell me that you good people in America know that 'Scarborough Fair' is NOT an American folk song. There is a lot of great American folk songs on the site. A rich vein I will be mining for some time to come.


Right. It's a traditional old English folk song. Paul Simon stole his arrangement from one of the well known British folkies, but I don't recall who it was. Maybe Davey Grahame?
Anybody know?
Can you post the link to the site, Jim?
