Dear Group, Travelling in darkest Borneo for enviro reasons, I have discovered an Internet/Web service in this battered coffee room in this battered jungle town, and couldn't resist checking to see if the Fantasy Folk Circle was still circling, and if the definitive definition of a folk song had been reached. I see things are definitely progressing. Two nights ago in Kota Kinabalu I heard something strange: a Sarawak folk dance based on heaven knows what Scottish tune (a Scottishe). The dancers were accompanied by a native orchestra and an screeching electric fiddler. Afterwards I went up and through my interpreter asked the fiddler about his favourite music. The Beegees.

Cheers to all -- and my five minutes are up. Having a strange time, find you are here... Yours, Peter

P.S. concerning T-shirts, make them white. It is 97 degrees here -- dark is out.
