Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?
You triggered a memory, ABCD, of Whitby many years ago when the Plough, a Sam Smith's pub, still allowed music. One of the regular sets of the session was a medley of American South music. It included Dixie to which the Yorkshire contingent always sang "I wish I were in Dewsbury, pronounced jowsbry, followed by "On them golden slippers". Would that be crowned upon nowadays?
