If an Englishman starts the "Traditional" degree doing his own songs with a guitar (rather than an English cittern), and 4 years later, at his final recital, does only his own songs with his guitar - without learning/performing one E. trad - is the course "one of the best things to happen in a very long time" (DS)?...Or are the lecturers and tutors not doing their job. That's what I mean by "laissez faire folk degree" (above).
