Bravo!!!!, now I understand the singing of some of my grandparents friends (I did not understood a word; I was 4 or 5 years old, and thougth they where just playing with me...my parents smiled and said the gentleman was trying to teach me a song...I spoked spanish and english since born, but this words where strange to me ..."Welsh they said". My uncles that where scotish, sang other songs similar, but did not understood those as well).
Thank you for answering my questions, after 45 years!!!, dear maestro Edmund!!!, sure they are lovely folk songs, that opens my soul to ancient legacies!!!!

Phil Tanner was the brother of my Grandfather, or simply put, my Great Uncle.

Top notch. These weren't recorded in 1947 - they are dubs from the original recordings made in late 1936 and issued on Columbia.

I got this from a reference on the recent release "Excavated Shellac". Superb.
