Thread Name: Fifty-Two Folk Songs
Subject: The Fifty-Second Folk Song
And now, the end is here, and so I face... the 52nd folk song.

The 52nd and final (weekly) folk song is Banks of Yarrow; you probably know it as The Banks of Green Willow. Unaccompanied, after Debra Cowan.

Also this week: Ballad of accounting, a stark and rather Brechtian song by Ewan MacColl. Unaccompanied but for multi-tracking, after Tony Capstick.

And finally: Who's the fool now? Thereby hangs a tale. Unaccompanied but for lots of other people.

For anyone who's made it this far: don't go away! There's more to come, albeit probably not at the same workrate I've kept up for most of the last year. Secondly and more importantly, thankyou – many thanks for reading, listening and downloading.
