Mmm...criticising the Captain, now, are we, Franks? A man whoe has more music in his little finger than you can ever hope for. No hope for you, cock. And, incidentally, how do you know what the devil your "folky forebears" were doing or singing centuries ago? Folky foreplay, more like...

And if you're going to exercise the merits of your BA in Humanities, then at least spell the word as "merits" and not "merrits".

And, dang me, you've learned a "couple of E trads" by ear, have you? Well, that makes you able to pontificate even more, I suppose?

Gawd 'elp us!
