I suppose Lola tells a story of a time and place and a cultural milieu
It tells a remarkable story of how gay love became the love that dared speak its name in a country where it had once been punishable by death.
Pretty much as little Armstrong or one of those related songs, where the lord of the manor could do what he wants.

And yes. young people do enjoy finding songs and music the radio has stopped playing on their stations. Its like that business of hackneyed folksongs. Since they don't do programmes like Singing Together - young people (many of them) don't know the staples of English and American folksong.

You've got an agenda, Jim. Fair enough. So have the people running folk clubs. Why argue. We're all on the side of the angels.

Nobody's running a club for serial murderers. I don't think.
