Jerry (somewhat off topic but...)
Your post reminded me of a visit I had to Thirsk Folk Club in North Yorkshire a couple of years ago.
The Black Umfolosi band were staying in the hotel the club meets in as they were doing various concerts and schools workshops in the area.
They very nicely came down and joined us and sang some of their songs, listened to the songs we sang and I seem to remember had a go at joining in on an unaccompanied sea shanty I did which was rather fun. Very entertaining evening.
I'm afraid I'm with Duke Ellington - 'There's only two types of music - good music and bad music - and I like both of them'
