One last thing. Mark Ross is a folk singer, and a damned fine one at that. Much of his material would not meet the 1954 definition, but when the protectors of the tradition were doing just than--and I thank them for their work--Mark was singing songs in hobo jungles and on union picket lines. Suggesting that a man of that calibre isn`t folk points to the real divide between the UK and North America. I think that never the twains will meet.

Good to see your posts, Mark.
