Thread Name: Chords in Folk?
Subject: RE: Chords in Folk?
Briefly (and may I then just refer again to my above work): the idea that the nuclear family was best for children and society alike - poem #88; firemen were definitely the good-guys of our society - not to be stoned; More-and-more English are singing/playing in an American style; it's harder-and-harder to find a tea-house - or any English-fare-type restaurant for that matter; a lot of our younger women can't cook the roast, apparently, frankly, sadly - poem #229; Why - Americanisation, and children being taught not just to appreciate but to practiSe aspects of other cultures, to the disadvantage of our own; and, finally, if kids are playing cricket with a tennis ball, or soccer, etc. till dusk, or learning to sketch/paint, or playing roll-a-penny, they are not getting drunk, smashing bus-stops, or throwing stones at firemen.
