Ah, Snail! The implication from your ... how shall I put this? ... rather robust and hectoring posts is that I am not allowed to express an opinion - especially if it differs from yours. I have actually, when circumstances have allowed and it has seemed appropriate(it's often not wise or prudent to make head-on personal attacks), expressed my opinions on this subject - both to the individuals concerned and to certain organisers. I could elaborate further but I'm not answerable to you - just remember that.

I still believe, and will go on stating my belief, that singers of traditional songs should aim high both out of respect for the songs and for their audiences; the attitude, "it's good enough for folk" is NOT good enough.
