Subject: RE: bawdy warning in DigiTrad titles index?
I am not bothered by bawdy. I understand there may be a very instances where it produce an embarassing moment, but then I understand there are some of those lyrics here.

As far as the old folks appreciating (or not) bawdy words ... I remember some church friends of mine asked me to attend a party in Boston, and bring my guitar because they were bringing their 100 year lady friend from the nursing home where one of them worked, and she was a fiddle player. Well that sweet, fun loving old lady had some of the bawdiest, knee slapping stories I ever heard! She was by far the free-est spirit at that party. My young freinds were a bit embarassed, but I loved it! She was a great fiddler too ... laughed and laughed, and sang and told tales of growing up in Nova Scotia, and hte consequences of slippin' out behind the barn at the 'hoe down' cook out parties she attended as a younger woman ... much like the cook party my friends were having for her.

She was blind, but saw more humor in the day than those of us several decades her junior!
