Subject: RE: So what is *Traditional* Folk Music?
I `ad that Professor Ivor Duffchord in my cab the other day. `e was on `is way to that big Bodelian (sic) library in Oxford where they `ave more books than you can shake a stick at.
I said, `What you got going on there then, Prof? Searching for more evidence of composers `oo may have benefited from slavery?"
`e said, "No Jim. That committee `as done it`s job and reported. I`ve been asked to write a paper on "What is Traditional Folk Song" for Radio Three. When it goes on air we will play examples of the era."
I said, "My good Gawd. That old chestnut again. Mind you, you`ve come to the right place `ere. Our Tony used to write trad songs every month!!!"


Whaddam I Like???
