"I also had a go on a Mexican guitarron - a fretless acoustic bass which sounded lovely. Also in Windows, I bought a banjo capo so as I might play my old fiddle in the manner of a kemence." (IB)...haven't been for a few weeks, do they stock English citterns now?

So you were happy to get a taste of all those other musical genres, in a city of England, without any "Morris Dancers, Folk Singers" (IB)...as I say, you are an extreme pro-immigrationist, and a lot of tradies, including me, would be bothered by the lack of English culture you describe, as would many foreign tourists, scraping through the haystack to try and find a needle of the English culture they intended to get a taste of.

However, "customary whinge about modern art." (IB)...we'd agree on that one!
