Shimrod,
Because I find it unsatisfactory,it does not follow that I want a world where every thought and desire can be seen in terms of black and white.
Jim Carroll,you have consistently insulted me on this forum, you have accused me of denigrating traditional singers,which I have not,.
Furthermore you dont even have the good manners to apologise.
It appears I am not the first person to receive the unpleasant side of your tongue, for daring to have a different opinion to you.
I have read extensively many of the articles at Musical Traditions,[an excellent site]including the review of Around the Hills of Clare,and I have read your subsequent hostile letters[enthusiasms no 46].
We should be able to discuss matters on this forum,and have differences of opinion, without you calling me a Philistine,comparing me to a dozy wasp,and being a pain in the arse,Denigrating traditional singers [etc].
