Good to hear from you Henry but I don't believe I made any restrictions - talking about the sectarian "end" of a much broader tradition does after all indicate a spectrum. If you had read my Belfast Telegraph article (and I regret the link no longer works) you would see that it shows that there are songs which, with very slight changes, can be made serve whichever sectarian purpose is desired - and that sometimes a song seems threatening only because of the hearer's perceptions.

Anyone interested in a copy of the article may e-mail me at jmoul810175@aol.com - I must apolgogise that the needs of the paper included extreme brevity.
