Folk Song Follies
Over the last few years I have occasionally had a conversation with various musical buddies which invokes the idea of the List Of Things Not To Do If You Find Yourself Stuck In A Folk Song. I have just tried to Google to see if such a thing is extant on the web, and either it's not of my Google-fu sucks.
SO, here's your chance, boys and girls: clearly this list must be compiled and put on my lovely shiny tidy new website (which you can see from the 'Lucy's Home Page' link on my journal).
I'll start you off:
Sensible Advice Should You Find Yourself Stuck In A Folk Song
- Make detailed enquiries into the family background of anyone who wants to sleep with or marry you.
- Take a life-jacket on any sea-voyage.
- Avoid cross-dressing.
- If you can't avoid cross-dressing, avoid flirting with anyone at all while in the garb of the opposite sex.
Any more?

(I'm thinking here about the time my late ex and I closed out a folk evening by a stirring rendition of Mundy Turner's "Markham Main", both of us oblivious to the fact the pub landlord was the former union rep for Markham Main....)
