Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
"IB - realistically, your lyrics and voice (which I quite like) are E. trad, but your accompaniment is not, and you delight in the fact that elements of foreign cultures are practised much more here now than our own English ones...so, if you are a trady, you're a strange one."

RALPH VAUGHN-WILLIAMS. He took English folk tunes and added accompaniement which was NOT E. trad in any way shape or form.

Not only that, but your use of recorder is NOT E. trad either, WAV.
