"Into Worcestershire. The bagpipes (smallpipes or lowland bagpipe) play two Border tunes, Not for Joe and Sheepskins. The latter is the same tune as Om si the Gom."

"The future? Albion Morris Men perform the Upton-Upon-Severn Stick Dance to electric guitars and drums.

(This track was previously released on The Electric Muse where the musicians were identified as John Watcham, anglo-concertina; Simon Nicol, electric guitar; Ashley Hutchings, bass; Roger Swallow, drums)

Wonderful. Real music and real tradition. Thanks to Ashley et al for making sure we don't lose it.
