Tom, Jon

I used to get lots of pleasure and value talking about the way to play music, instruments, style, technique and material, principally because I am a musician and Mudcat and the Beeb F&A were ideal places to do that. However I've been worn out by contentious discussions and furthermore, because of the absence of intercourse with like minded people, I'm spending more time with my instruments now rather than hanging about on the internet, which is probably a good thing anyway. The fRoots forum has always seemed to concentrate on discussing genres and talking about music rather than aspects that I'm interested in, which is not invalid in itself, but just not the place for me, especially as I feel out of my depth or in contention with some of the contributors. I rather regret that that the Beeb F&A is no longer a place I feel at home in either. I left that place because of the rows and even though it is quieter now, most if not all of the other people that I used to correspond with have left.
