Just this evening, "Gangs of New York" on TV produced "An Unconstant Lover" amongst drifts of what sounded like traditionalish banjo and other tunes.

I occasionally find traditional songs lurking in people I never suspected of singing anything. Iain is married to a friend of a friend. His wife and daughter live in dread of him breaking into "The Sow Song" (complete with bangs and whistles) at some unsuspecting social gathering. I may well encourage him to do so the next chasnce I get. If I take a print-out of the DigiTrad versions for comparison purposes, would this legitimise my plan?
