Thread Name: EFDSS proposed name change
Subject: RE: EFDSS proposed name change
I was happily remembering songs I used to sing - it's not illegal - yet - and the Seeds of Love came to mind. Cecil Sharp blamed this song for his involvement and large part in bringing about the English Folk Dance & Song Society. Sharp collected the song from one John England - how very apt! If the current clowns at the society have their way then by definition Sharp's source must become John / Johann / Jean / etc etc Everyman in order not to offend anyone!
