Hester St George's Day (68* d) RE: St George's Day 25 Apr 03

Hi, Ralphie:

Yes, I'm aware of the strong Leftist tradition in British Folk since at least the 50s (e.g Centre 42), but I'm also aware of an earlier right-wing perspective (e.g. Rolf Gardiner & Douglas Kennedy in the 30s) that Befuddled seemed to echo in a disturbing way.

Billy Bragg was a staple of my musical collection in my youth (although McGrath of Harlow oddly disputes the idea that he is a "folkie"), and the Mermaid Avenue albums have led me to further exploration of folk music now (and a whole new realm of alternative rock music through Wilco).

Nice to know we're mostly singing from the same page, and that "Befuddled" is just a random troll, not an accepted participant at Mudcat or in the folk scene in general.

Cheers, Hester
