Nice to realise that, the day after submitting my 2nd book MS, today is the 180th anniversary of William Dauney’s death & 214th anniversary of John Stuart Blackie’s birth.
Dauney was in my PhD, and Blackie is in my second book. Pictured, are Dauney’s, ‘Ancient Scotish Melodies’; and Blackie’s, ‘Scottish Song’.
Incidentally, my book draft now has to get reviewed, so please do keep your fingers crossed for me! I shall be on tenterhooks for the next few weeks.
