We must have been on a different wave-length in Easebourne,near Midhurst,Sussex,where I was at Primary School in 1958(aged 10 ) ---The songs I remember best were The Ash Grove...Westering Home...Johnny come down to Hilo...The Golden Vanity...The Lincolnshire Poacher...The Minstrel Boy....All Through the Night---
Well,the headmaster was a Welshman ( Mr Bevan,isn"t it?? ) & yes,Folk Music was Compulsory (I am very glad to say !!)
