Subject: RE: Where Have All The Americans gone?
My last solo gig , --Monday night.
I'm a Scot, and have been associated with folk clubs and the music heard there for FIFTY years.
A short resumeof Monday's repertoire---
The Mingulay Boat song.
Bogle's "No man's Land"
Cheatin' Heart-Jealous Heart-Candy Kisses medley [with vocals]
Banks of the Ohio
Come by the Hills
The Lass o' Fyvie
Only the Hangman
Red River Valley [request]
Dougald MacIntosh
The Parting Glass

    No rigid "tradition" there, I would suggest. Only much loved material gathered in my [admittedly cluttered ] mind over the aforementioned fifty years. Yes--I have over and over had to remind bigoted "traddies" that folk music and song is simply what folk sing.
