Corn on the cob

Lloyd admitted to doing so.

In his anthology, Corn on the Cob, he wrote, "In one or two cases where there exists a whole cycle of ballads dealing with a single subject or figure, a composite version has been made, put together from several texts, in order to give the ballad a greater continuity or a higher dramatic interest." Scholar David Gregory says that it's far more than one or two cases.

And that's totally reasonable from a performer's perspective.

It's perfectly fine to cobble together different versions of a traditional ballad when you're arranging it for performance.

Okay.

Landon, why don't you start us off? My bright side of life this week is it's corn on the cob season.

Yay! I love corn on the cob.

I like corn in general.

But corn on the cob is just better.

I don't know what it is about it.

It's just better.

Definitely.
