Those Verdant Braes ...

We are so privileged.
I usually listen to, and take note of, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
I missed the original broadcast this year.
Never fear; this is the twenty-first century!
It's all there on the wonderful web!

Here's Cara Dillon.
Isn't she lovely?! ...



Thanks, BBC.

The song is a romantic piece of reportage about failed seduction.
It can be summarised by a punch-line wherein the fair maiden says,
"I'm not getting a wet arse by sitting on the grass next to you. BOG OFF - I'm going to climb a tree!"
