I `ad that Don the Dwarf in my cab the other day. `e looked like a pixie oo `ad been banned from fishing in the garden pond, well beside `imself. I said, " Morning Shorty, whereto today?" `e said, "Anywhere Jim I can sit down and get my `ead together". I said, "Whatsup then?" `e said, " It`s that Mudcat stirring things up again. They`re getting people to ask whether "folk" is a dirty word. We were doing a gig last night and some bloke suggested we ought to be cancelled, like they do in the universities, because our folk songs might make people feel uncomfortable. They might `ave been sung or written by people they dis-agree with." I said, "I wouldn`t get out of your pram over that." `e said, "Well, `ow would you and your band `andle it?" I said, "We`d just announce that any folk songs we do weren`t written by anybody, they just grew on trees!!!" Whaddam I Like??
