WAV, you may be aware of "Child's ballads," but you still didn't get the joke, did you?. Do you even know who or what "Child" is? Some people who should know better don't.

Case in point:   on the occasion of one of idiosyncratic folk singer John Jacob Niles' concerts, billed as "a program of Child ballads," one music reviewer wrote, "Mr. Niles sang a program of some of the most unusual children's songs I've ever heard."   (!)
