Surprised initially that Mister Bragg had to go to The Library for the tune 'She Moved Through the Fair' , then thought he was probably checking if it was P D.

Not so surprising, I seem to remember seeing him and that US group doing a tv programme about his tune writing for Woody's lyrics. The lyrics of one appeared to be those of a well known old song "When The Roses Bloom Again Beside the Water" which already has a melody far better in my opinion than that offered by the Barking Bard.

I also listened to about 60% of the Digital Folk programme. Malcolm Taylor is to be congratulated on doing a great job but I couldn't stand the little girl vocals and arranging of the material. They sounded to me like performances at a school concert with just the sort of presentation that put me off folk music until I heard the real thing.

Hoot
