Their wells are deep and so is yours, Andy. Thank you for writing and sharing this wonderful and thought-provoking piece. I recently read Shapiro's "Year of Lear" and this is a fantastic chaser. Both show me how little I know, how much further there is to go.
Thanks, James. I feel the same; the more I learn, the more I realise there is still to discover. That seems to be the way things are in every field, but as long as it is rewarding and enjoyable then we keep on journeying. I hope you like the next one in this series, too. It should be posted fairly soon.
Excellent piece, Andy! I love your contextual explanations of the broadside tradition and all the rich entanglements with Shakespeare and Dylan. I adore "Little Musgrave." My favorite version is by the traditional Irish group Planxty, featuring the great Christy Moore. Thanks for giving me the prompt to go back and listen again to that great ballad.
