Phew we got trough 1954 unscathed ;-)

In response to Ray's comment on popular songs being sung in folk clubs I have no problem with this at all if they are story based or social commentary. For example I'd be happy with The Beatles 'She's Leaving Home' or 'Eleanor Rigby' but perhaps less enthusiastic about Love Me Do or Please Please Me
