John Doe - is it not silly to change licenc/se AND practis/ce? And pray tell me has any nation other than the USA bothered to change the spelling of English, and why? To Mole., a few things are better now than the 1950s but, yes, from what I can gather, England did indeed contain a better society then than now, again, frankly. Finally, it was not I that left chords? for languages? (see above). Having read every post here, John: it is wrong to say English traditional music is ALL about the tune; it is NOT wrong to say English traditional music is MOSTLY about the tune.
