Amen to that, Spaw. Were it not for the likes of PP&M and the KT, I would probably not been introduced to many traditional songs until much later in life. "Three Ravens", "There Is A Ship", "Tiny Sparrow", "Leatherwing Bat" and many other such songs come to mind. Looking back, I think that if they had been done in the pure, traditional style, I might not (in that time of my life) have listened to them. As it was, thanks to PP&M and their compatriots, I fell in love with these songs. Then, when I heard other versions, I think I was more prepared to hear them with a better ear.

This, to me, sums up the enormous value of their contribution to folkmusic.
