Hi All; What's all the broohaha? As a reasonably new member to mudcat, I really don't know the difference between a BS and a non bs thread. It surely isn't important enough to savage each other over, afterall, we are all friends here right? I do have a query of an informational sort. I'm looking for skipping or counting songs from London's Whitechapel/Spitalfields districts during the Victorian era that would have been in vouge in the spring of 1888. I am reseaching a novel on Jack the Ripper, hence the fairly specific date. I can be reached at writer@a-znet.com or post it here. I do check the boards here pretty much daily. Thank you all, Neil PS- be good to each other!
