Don, I believe the 'good enough for folk' throwaway originated as 'good enough for jazz'. Of course, I'm probably wrong (as we're no doubt going to find out soon!)...


I simply don't understand why Don McLean wasn't able to tune 'on the fly' - he wasn't playing anything particularly complex so it would have been easy enough, unless he's so reliant on electronic tuners that his ear has become lazy.


John P... people 'umm' when they don't know the words!! ;o)
