Subject: RE: Hackneyed Folk Songs
Me too, Howard, but there are some I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. When I look back I think we sang some of them just because they were traditional and no other reason. Silly really. But I'm really enjoying reviving The Barley Mow, The Collier Brig, Sailor's Alphabet, Still I Love Him and some of my grandparents' songs. Amazing how quickly the words come back when you haven't sung them for 50 years.
