Er, I didn't say folk songs; knowing these are self-consciously composed, I did mention singer-songwriters. These songs help me remember the good times, and sometimes that is what I need.

Yes, I had a lovely birthday, all, and tonight I go play with the contra band.

"Girls night out, away ye merry lasses,
It's a girl's night out, we'll ridethe wind tonight...
