As an aside and apropos of nothing, does anyone recall the anecdote of the famous American actress (Shirley MacLaine maybe?) about her childhood debut at one of her parent's showbiz parties, singing the jazz standard "Love for Sale" ("appetising young love for sale, love that's fresh and still unspoiled" etc.) Then there's the child of one folk singing acquaintance of mine, who on discovering the meaning of one of the delightful rollicking shanties that her parent's had taught her, promptly stopped singing it.. :)
