Subject: RE: Why is misogyny so prevalent in trad?
Open Mike, you aren't the first to pair Risselty-Rosselty and Equinoxial. . . Pete Seeger did this over 50 years ago on a long-cherished Folkways record. GOod idea, though.

can remember the night before two (musician) friends got married (still together, approaching 9 years now) singing all the songs I know that were misognyist; had only two that warned women to beware (Blind Alfred Reed's Beware O Take Care) and Equinoxial. . .
