the Seeds of Love is a glorious example of the true earthy uncultured authentic tradition of ignorant peasants making true authentic earthy music which is the true authentic tradition of the wonderful ignorant peasant people of this green and pleasant land, utterly distinct from and vastly superior to any other music played or listened to by anyone ever, and only to be appreciated by nice middle-class people who truly understand the authentic earthy traditions of this great nation/people of ours, God Save the King!/Up the Workers!

Pip - I believe you've channelled Cecil Sharp's very thoughts upon hearing John England's essaying of The Seeds back in 1903.

Does anyone have the copy of The Ladybird History of Music which contains a colourful illustration of Mr Sharp's celebrated epiphany, BTW? Seminal stuff...
