my point is.....I wanted your opinion on Fred criticising me for introducing a song with back ground information,I am pointing out that Bob is not the only person to have made remarks like that, dependent on your response will influence my opinion on whether i think you are prejudiced against Bob Davenport, that is my point ,can you understand that, is it loud and clear.
I think Bobs point is that presentation AND TRADTIONAL MUSIC is important and has to be entertaining,that audiences should not be talked down to, I interpret his comments to mean that he has no objection to further education classes about folk music per se, but he objects to a certain kind of presentation which involves lecturing audiences in the manner that he thinks is a further education class manner.
These are not necessarily my opinions., but my interpretation of Bobs statement.
