AFAIK I hadn't met YMMV, so looked it up on the acronym finder.... "Your
Market May Vary"....?
Incidentally I was then moved to look at what else they had to offer. My
favourite so far is "YMMS" which can apparently be "You make me smile".
How nice.
Or it can mean "You make me sick". So reassuring to know it's
unambivalent, then ;-)

Playing through some of Jack Dodd's tunes today, I wondered if anyone
on the list could tell me about him, or send me to some resource on
the web that might have information about him.
Jack Dodd is still with us, and lives in Embleton. He is father to Margaret
Watchorn (of this parish) - who presumably would be best placed to provide
details.
AFAIK he doesn't "do" the internet.
He used to play pipes, and in my time, played banjo with Dishalagie. I received
a
lot of help from him when I first went to Alnwick pipers' meetings in the early
90s. He and George Mitchell (separately) gave me some really good advice, which
I
try to remember. I consider his tune "The Flowers of Ashgill" - in Alnwick's
book 2
- to be one of the best old-fashioned waltz tunes ever - YMMV.
Hope this helps
