for the fourth time, the thread was started as a joke,in relation to Dustin the Turkeys,eurovision song performance.
The correct place for criticism[so that the performer can benefit],is in private on a one to one basis.,and is generally best when the performer has asked for ways, he she/ might improve,for example if I wanted to Improve my guitar playing,I might ask someone like Richard Grainger[how to use DADGAD]or if I wanted to have an opinion on a self composed song,I might ask him or someone like Peter Bond.,or if I wanted an opinion on how to interpret a ballad I might ask Martin Carthy.If someone wanted advice on song accompaniment Iwould be happy to help,I would also direct them to the recordings of LouisKillen ,AlfEdwards,SteveTurner,TonyRose,DamienBarber,BrianPeters.
honest, open discussion does not include calling me an egotistical twat,that is personal abuse,[post from Jeri].Dick Miles
