Max,I saw the review on www.session org.
I had[after I posted here] also contacted froots LETTERS board[that does have a forum ],and is in fact the origins of the review.
at the time of my original post on this forum,and up until very recently, until I was informed[less than a hour ago] by Ian Anderson[editor of froots] I assumed quite logically that James O Donnell[was not a pseudonym] and was in fact James O Donnell.
there is no history behind this.,I do not know James O Donnell
now that I know [courtesy of Ian Anderson,and after I had sent my posts to this forum]the reviewers true Identity,I would like to apologise to him,and assure him that if I had known the true identity of the reviewer,Iwould not have mentioned this review here.
how the hell am I supposed to know someones identity when they use a pseudonym,it is completely ridiculous.
I watch GEANTRAI regularly,and while it has shortcomings,I am delighted to get 3o minutes decent ITM on the television,and am appalled to see decent musicians[Ann Conroy Burke etc] slagged of.
I had no idea who the reviewer was,and have a democratic right to talk about a review without you accusing me of having an axe to grind,you may own this site,but you do not have a right to make defamatory suggestions about my motives.
you can rest assured the last thing I want to do is wind this person up,and receive another late night phone call.
