Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
With fear and trepidation I followed the link that Spaw kindly(?) provided.
Am not sure how I can describe the feeling of nausea.
Irene is right. Wav is either the Florence Foster Jenkins or Mrs Miller of folk music....
I'm going to download his songs for posterity, and put them in with my recording of Kenny Everetts Bottom 30!
He has to be preserved for posterity!!
It's not that he's so bad that is painful. We've all heard appaling singers and musicians in our time, and either left the room, or said Oh bless you for trying.
Thats no problem.
It's the inmitigated arrogance of the man. To tell people like Eliza and Don how songs should be sung????
It defies belief.
Off to download his songs now, before they get wiped!!
