Ralphie The Concept of FREED Folkmusic (1216* d) RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic 28 Sep 10


To add a postscript to Howards post above.
I've had a think about the number of new concertinas being made in the UK over the next 5 years. (By Mssrs Dipper and Dickinson)
Total.....50....Max!
And they have already been ordered. (I'm on Mr Dippers list somewhere!)
Sadly there is no-one out there to take their place when they take their well deserved retirement.
Conrad, If you could see the work that skillfull artisans have to have to produce magnificicent instruments (This includes Luthiers and many other independent instrument makers) and living on the breadline at the same time, maybe...just maybe...You would understand.
Far more important and influential people than me on this thread have wasted our time trying to convince you that, not only are your ideas wrong, but also unneccessary.
We'll all just carry on, sharing and enjoying each others music, in whatever country we live in. You, meanwhile, you can stay in Baltimore (?) where you seem to be persona non grata. (Look it up. It's Latin)
The rest of the musical world seems to be doing pretty nicely, thank you.
I would advise you to go out and practice what the rest of us have been doing for decades.
Then post your recordings on the web. Then we can truly hear just how brilliant you are.
