"Don't explain it to me 'cause I really don't give a turkey......or a shit or a fuck for that matter." Speechless is what I am. This quality of thoughtful irony at the start of my day can only suggest a special kind of day. Some religious groups go on about how family orientated they are as if the rest of us are not. Some English men dance with other men in the Morris and are surprised to find many cultures where men dance to celebrate things. We visit other countries are are knocked out by natural wonders only to come back and rediscover them at home. About 200.000 years ago we lived in Africa. Some of us wondered off around the beaches of the world and did things a bit differently. But we are basically the same people and we share much - perhaps we can share it a bit more? No, not all of us. |

Trust all is well with you and Mary. Enjoyed your music at Shrewsbury and the workshop. Playing at the Lloyds on Saturday a haunt Mary will know. Working from acorns to samplings at the moment but who Knows? Cheers Les |

I may understand a few other song traditions,but their understanding[imo]throws no light on my understanding of my own tradition |
