PATNAUSEAM PATDEMIC: Gallows Pole

Was aired on the program: Subject to Change
Sunday, May 23, 2021
12:00pm - 2:00pm

If the pandemic doesn't kill you, maybe the poverty will. Today's show looks at famed "Child Ballad" known variously as Hangman, Gallis Pole, Gallows Pole, The Maid Freed from the Gallows, The Prickly Bush, The Prickle-Holly Bush, Prickle-Eye Bush, The Golden Ball, and Seven Curses, to name a few. We'll hear versions from Appalachia, England, Northern Europe, and Hibbing, MN, all delivered with the patented pedantry that will inspire you to part with your gold and silver for relief
