Thread Name: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album
Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album
Just got back from a stay in Scotland to find this latest series of posts to the thread.
I'm really glad to hear you're "coming on a treat" now Ray, and look forward to seeing you up and about again before too long.
It's always a treat to hear you sing, and I have long valued your experience, opinions and good sense in matters of song.
I do however take issue with your assessment of my review as "not too flattering". Yes, in my considered analysis I pointed out some drawbacks and discrepancies, primarily concerning the actual presentation of the set; but after all, that's part of any conscientious reviewer's duty!
I would suggest you read again the all-important concluding sentence - "Even notwithstanding its "ha'porth of tar" aspects, though, this enjoyable and entertaining release constitutes an indispensible archive resource; Ray is thus to be heartily congratulated for his initiative and personal achievement."
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to full health, Ray.
