Pip Radish:
Will: as a musician, I come at traditional and not-so-traditional music from a quite different perspective - which is tunes and not words

I just knew you were going to say that! But you started on the songs, so I thought I'd follow suit.

I should say that my preference for tunes is not as a result of disliking songs - I certainly do sing as a live performer - but I prefer my long helpings of sex, death, betrayal, battles and ballads, etc. to come in printed, rather than vocal form. There's nothing nicer than to curl up with Bob Copper's "A Song For Every Season" and books of songs, and a large glass of Dalwhinnie by a roaring radiator. In that genre, I prefer written prose and verse to sung prose and verse.
