Subject: RE: Mountains of Mourne - Sequel?
Come on, let's have a dose of reality here. Is "Phil the Fluter's Ball" really racial stereotyping? Percy French was simply depicting characters he had met and observed. There is no stereotyping in any of his songs. For Chrissakes, why do the Irish always have to get chippy about all this whan the Scots always just shrug it off with wry smile ?
