Oi You.....You started the bloody thread !!! LOL!!!
As a self-confessed "Newbie" this whole diatribe must seem bizarre to you.
It's been going on for years.
OK. to go back to what I think was your original point. You have discovered traditional singing (Mainly ladies but not exclusively) Yes?
You popped into this maelstrom to get some info? yes?
Hopefully you have had a few insights into the length and breadth of the music that has been forgotten and lost.

Said it before, and will say it again.
Ask the question, and you will get the answer.
Will happily send you "Flat Earth" You might like it, you might not...All part of the learning purpose, (I think it's crap personally, should have waited 6 months before....But hey!)
I hope you have a nice weekend.
Now...Hunker down.....here comes Lizzie again....Be Good. Ralphie
