I think theres some wonderful old songs. I'm not sure this is one of them. I just see a lot of effort expended on songs that to me are unlikely to yield anything much - however presented. On the English folkscene you see regularly really talented people flogging themselves to death with quite dreadful old rubbish (and to be fair some dreadful new rubbish!)

Its up to the individual to judge. You just wish they judged a bit better. Oh come on dave, you know the feeling - three minutes into a song (or tune) about another eight minutes to go or so - and you think why I am here, why is he singing that bloody chorus again...surely singing it first time and the look of despair and suffering on the audiences faces told him something.
