Subject: RE: The Foggy Dew[East Anglian Version]
And you are surely being disingenuous about my claim as to the universality of the title. So you came across one exception in furrin parts? Big deal!
A test for you ~~ mention a song called Bugaboo to anyone and see what kind of blank reception you get. But mention Foggy Dew to anyone [folkie or not! and I will guarantee you at least a 90% instant recognition. Much due [no pun!], no doubt, to that bloody ole Britten/Pears version; but that doesn't alter the fact as to the universal recognisablility of this standard title.
