I am deliberately not participating...

Much

And for some reason many people seem to think of me as a dyed in the wool chauvinist who refuses to listen to or play anything that does not fit the 1954 definition (whereas in fact I think the defintion is useful because it tells us what something is not merely what it sounds like)

But tonight I have been experimenting with trying to put metal style guitar chugs onto some tunes that I think are trad but put in to a minor key for a morris side, and played the Stones "Play with Fire" and the Small Faces "All or Nothing" on my 12-string. Those chugs are hard work on a 12-string.

I am however put in mind of Magrath's eponymous "THe Bovril's with the gravy but the Marmite's with the Jam".
