Standard versions!!!!

The only standard is that there IS no standard. I remember Derek Eliot getting very annoyed at a folk club in Sheffield once. He sang "Here's adieu to old England", and everyone joined in the chorus- Martin Carthy's version of the chorus, not his. We were guilty of NOT LISTENING.
