Subject: RE: young folk tradition undermining folk
well if you ask me, they're all bastards.

they have totally improper technique, and consequently they all stick the wrong finger in their ears...sometimes in the wrong ear. Bloody disgraceful!

And whats more they sing fol de diddle di day, when Cecil Sharp and Hammond were quite clear that fol de diddle rye day is not just a random load of crap sung sung by pissed up peasants but refers to matters of great great cultural significance. I mean one's a flattened fifth, and one's a minor accidental. Need I say more...?

Quite frankly, one's heart bleeds to think of our wonderful tradition entrusted to these ruffians and deliquents.
