And yet WAV, you still haven't answered any of my questions. For the third time, is Michael McGoldrick conspiring against England by being English born, but someone who performs with Irish, Scottish, and English musicians? Are rural Americans who sing old transplanted English ballads about knights and King Henry taking away from "proper" American songs according to your theories? Does music, have a border control? According to you, world music should be presented as an unfused item, yet I have presented how that is culturally impossible. Sedayne mentioned Bhangra, do you know where that originates WAV? Do you know where salsa originated as a musical form? With your limited understanding then, why do you impose your rules upon English music and culture? Lets bring it back though. Answer my questions I have posed to you, because if English musicians shouldn't be playing Swedish songs, etc, should Americans or Newfoundlanders or what have you be singing songs of English origin in their respective countries? Is that a hinderance, or a boon for English music in your mind, because if you believe a standard should apply to music, its got to be across the board-you don't get one set of rules for the country you live in, while everyone else can go about things differently.
