Hil and Richard, I hope you find workshops you'd like to add some songs to, different as they are. One that I'm leading ("Beggars, Tramps and Bums") is specifically designed to include traditions from both sides of the pond. There's a rich vein of music and lore about bums, hobos, and tramps dating back to the Great Depression and further in the US, and there are wonderful English, Scottish and Irish songs about beggars as well. I'm really hoping we get examples of both. I think one of the neat things about the Getaway as it has evolved is that we get a mix of approaches and traditions. By organizing the workshops topically, there's a lot of variety in every hour.
