Though I suppose they are all right "downstairs", I wish that people wouldn't start these "twisted subject line" threads up here. They are an invitation to the kind of back and forth irreverent joking that is entirely okay down there, but (being, I suppose, a stuffed shirt), I don't think they belong "upstairs". They are highly unlikely to lead to or likely contain real music and or folklore discussion.

Yes - led by ex-Jethro Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams. Oddly enough I was listening to their "Ahead Rings Out" in the car only last week. Blues, yes, but not folk. Except in the "ain't no horse" sense.

Come you guys - I expected you to be a bit more streaky. I guess I just must be rasher than you. But I'm worried about hogging the thread. There was Hoyt Axton's Greenback Dollar, as recorded by the Kingston Trio. Also - two in one, this - there was Andrew (Smokey) Hogg: the vountry bluesman.

I've just lost 25 pounds { that's a weight here in America - not money from England } - so I guess that takes me out of the running. However I have hurt my arm patting myself on the back.

An ex-policeman and a magistrate. Hence the Name.

Actually their take on the justice sytem and other well observed subjects is rather telling. And FUNNY.
