I am extremely interested in, and specialize in, songs that were collected in my home Country of Hampshire and I feel a very close affinity to them and the singers from whom they were collected;
BUT I am very mindful of what Vaughan Williams said - ie. "These are NOT necessarily Hampshire songs, just songs collected in Hampshire."
However, I do like having the image of the person and the place where a song was collected, and this brings me closer to those songs.
