"Al writes some excellent folk songs"
No he doesn't - folk songs evolve and are not made
Al doesn't even like folk songs and he has nothing but contempt for those who gave tem to us - "bunch of tinkers", or something like that, I think he called them
He much prefers pop songs sung 'dahn the pub'
"This thread had to degenerate into 1954 nonsense eventually"
Nonsense to the ignorant only Muskie
As I said, I had no intention being involved (not interesting enough) - it was Al's somewhat behind-the-back snide which drew men in - blame him
