Having done extensive research... I can conclusively confirm that the "TRADITION" died in 1888. (can't pin it down to a specific day/time. Sorry. "Mary had a Little Lamb" apparently (the first recording)....Not very traditional I'll admit, but a pithy version nonetheless. You lot are just a bunch of PEDANTS!!! Who actually cares? It's just people making music, song and dance.... Navel gazing I'll leave to the Admiralty....(presumably hauling on their bowlines....Down in the lonesome low... somewhere near Cape Horn, or maybe bound for South Australia.) I'll just carry on playing the tunes I like. And do you know what? I don't care, if it's not appreciated by anyone else. I know what I like, and I know how to find it.
