Subject: RE: So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music ?
fair enough.
My stepfather who came from a Family of piano makers in Stroud,Gloucs., Recalls Sharp visitng his parents, The Grovers,many times ,his description of Sharp , was of a man who was driven obsessively With collecting songs,
my stepfather was himself a socialist, but he always gave the impression that ShaRP was a middle class ,rather conservative man as were his friends the Grovers[Bentley pianos].He would have died laughing at the thought of Sharp being described a socialist.
to jim. what relevance has geordie hanna and Sarah o neill being brother and sister, got to this example of recording.
