GUEST,S O'P (Astray) The Blackleg Miner and FAF. (114* d) RE: The Blackleg Miner and FAF. 28 Jun 10

The fact that you appear to dislike the song doesn't mean squat

Not true actually, old man - I like the song a good deal & when I have thrice expressed an opinion it has been positive; thus:

From 25 Jun 10 - 12:34 PM : Mind you I can't fault Blackleg Miner as a piece of Idiomatic Trad - bet he couldn't have passed of Jack Orion so easily (which is probably why he didn't) although I've had arguments regarding its authorship in the past.

From 26 Jun 10 - 03:39 AM : Whilst it manages to convince on every level, it isn't what it claims to be

From 27 Jun 10 - 06:25 AM : though I do concede that The Blackleg Miner is a fine piece of work and have no qualms regards the violence which is pure reportage on one level, and justified warning on the other. As Young Buchan points out - It lasts that long. It's that important.
