Subject: RE: Performance Ability does it matter?
Ah well, I guess you can lose a battle but win a war. That's to you Terry.

Jim, I am worried about the thin end of the wedge. I know of a person of gender who (alas) teaches music (god help her students) who has single handedly driven about half the musicians and a quarter of the dancers out of a morris side because she persistently tells them that they are shit and that she can tell them how to do it - when in fact the exact converse is true.

Once I accept that people who are not good enough can be told not to perform (whoever tells them) someone like her will level the charge at me.
