Subject: RE: Mediation and its definition in folk music
Two patronising wazzocks then.

And he'll have got the message about reading what he and Ron Stradling put. I thought that Jim's list of Walter's songs had some others missing, as the numbers in different counts don't add up. The issue of this song and who said what about whether he sang it illustrates another point I made at the outset of the Pardon thread: it isn't always easy to sort the facts out. Indeed, I think it was Mike Yates who comments in one of the MUSTRAD pages, that Walter would tell different people differing things about where he heard the same song.

Mike Yates is the one who starts articles with a quotation from Marx but goes hairless if one mistakenly believes he is a Marxist, whereas he only finds it a useful tool for analysis at times. I apologised to him for confusing these points already.
