Thread Name: the english and irish traditions
Subject: RE: the english and irish traditions
Here's an idea: screw all the differences, opinions, facts, economic classes, revivals, histories, personalities, and traditions.

Do you like a song? Play it, listen to it. Do you dislike a song? Don't play it or listen to it. What possible difference does it make where or when the song is from, or who played it, or why? You all are heaping a tremendous amount of baggage onto songs and tunes, none of which are made better or worse -- or more proper or authentic -- thereby.
