Subject: RE: Critical discussion of Ewan MacColl's singing
"yes jim i thnk that is a better version, but i still prefer jeanies" No problem Di - we like what we like - the first thing I would do if I was researching out any traditional song would be to seek out a source singer's version I put up the clip to illustrate the difference between a song sung over fifty years ago and one when the singer had matured and found his 'folk feet' Hope nobody ever finds a recording of me singing 'Baa, baa black sheep' or even 'Schoolgirl Crush' Jim
