Earlier this summer I was at my usual Wednesday night session, which features a mix of mainly Irish tunes with a few songs, accompanied and unaccompanied, thrown in. A young boy of about four or five (at most!) was standing listening. He suddenly announced: "I know a funny song!". Encouraged to perform, he launched off into the first few verses of the ancient scatological/bawdy song "The Crabfish"! Apparently his father (who I think was demolishing dinner in the restaurant at the back of the pub, at the time) had taught it to him. Just the first few verses...

I was delighted to see the folk process continue - and not in the least worried about the child's future!
