Re message from Andrew in Melbourne

I saw the programme and was surprised (sort of) when the song "I'll Be With You When The Roses Bloom Again" turned up as a Guthrie compostion and Bragg wrote the tune for it. He shouldn't have bothered as it already has a perfectly adequate and far superior tune which is quite well known.

Personally I think he should leave all of Woody's material alone and stop ruining it for me, his voice and accent just don't suit the material AND before anybody gets excited and starts going on about accents I will make it quite clear that it's one that I share with Bragg being from the same area.
