Freemason's have (had?) a great song tradition as evidenced in many nineteenth century songsters. The 3-volume 'Universal Songster' of 1825, for example, contains around 80 songs described as 'masonic', alongside many hundreds described as 'comic', bacchanalian', 'jews', 'Dibdin's', 'amatory' and so on.. But what fantasy is this G-string? Freemasons recruiting in folk clubs? I know the poor deluded masons are on the way down, but not that far down!
