well as someone who quite happily performs for money.,and also quite happily plays/ sings at home for his own enjoyment.
I would like to say this:I care not a fig,whether some older musician said that the introduction of cash was the musics ruination.
my respect for older musicians is for there music,not for some statement they uttered as if it was sacrosanct.
I remember being in the presence of Bob Roberts,and in all seriousness he said,that the fact people couldnt waltz anymore was a sign of the decliner of civilisation,what a lot of Squit.
that doesnt alter my opinion of Bob as a performer,it just means that while I like his music,I dont agree with all his political/social utterances.
Jim Carroll, however seems to regard older musicians utterances as if they were unquestioned gospel. Dick Miles
