Dick, all us folkies who joined the folk scene in the sixties have been there,done it and got the t-shirt and know everything about folk song,dance and music.
This vast experience of life gives us the certain knowledge that the only opinion that counts is our own,the rest of humanity have simply got it wrong.
Its all part of growing old like arthritis,poor eyesight,and slightly dodgy memory.
People ask where are the young folk club followers?
They are discovering things for themselves not listening to us quarrelsome old farts squabbling.
