Oh, I don't feel the slightest bit insecure, nor do any of the musicians I play with, as far as one can tell.

Tunesmith seems to have a massive bee buzzing around in his bonnet about a bit of nonsense in a magazine.

I don't give a toss about accents, to be honest. If I hear something that appeals to me, that's all that matters. For example, much as I love Richard Thompson, I prefer "When The Spell Is Broken" performed by Bonnie Raitt and the Blind Boys of Alabama to the original. So there.
