about

This is a medley of 3 tunes. The first is ‘Good Old Charlie Brown’ and was given to the Tinkers by Ed Budding, an old friend, fiddler and astronomer. Ed said that his grandfather used to sing it after a gill or two.
The next chant, ‘How does a brown cow make white milk’ is one John remembers Uncle Jack singing on family occasions, also after a gill or two; The kind of song common in pantomimes at one time.
The last song, Sammy Shunter, is a short poem given to the Tinkers by an elderly lady from North Lancashire, some forty years ago, who wrote to the Tinkers after a concert.
Gerry put a tune to the poem.
