I have to confess to having a considerable problem with Percy French. Would anybody agree with me when I say that when I hear "Phil the Fluter's Ball" or much of the other stuff that he wrote that I end up with a very bad taste in my mouth.

For this man was the very worst of Anglo/Irish condescencion. This man was Sommerville and Ross in Spades. Really, we have surely outgrown Percy and his works and his pomps.

Haven't we?
