Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Volgadon - "Wav, nobody would have any objections if you disliked that sort of accompaniment on aesthetic grounds, but POLITICAL is plainly ridiculous and bigotted."...prefering E trads to be perfmormed traditionally is not bigoted.
"Try putting up a film (with sound) on You Tube" (IB)...I got the cheapest Agos camera, which doesn't have sound recording capability - thinking it would do for a few pics and a silent video while, if they wish, folks listen to my mysapce tracks. I may buy a more expensive sound-recording camera one day, and check whether it's possible to plug a mic into it..? An alternative may be to run my camera as I record, via Audacity, on my computer, and then somehow fit them together - but, frankly, I haven't looked into this yet...I've been learning/working out the 50 or so tunes in my repertoire on both recorder and keys.
I summary: I quite like you unaccompanied singing but not the exotic accompaniment you just described, and you don't mind my attempt at "Cob a Coaling" but strongly dislike some of my other attempts - as I said above, it's "subjective".
Then you again confuse the questioning of mass immigration, and trying to have a multiple number of cultures living under the one state law, with "racism" (IB).
