Stop dragging me into it snail.. You are confusing me on the basis I largely agree with you.

Here's a good one. I love using a carbon fibre acoustic guitar, (Rainsong) when playing acoustic and especially folk clubs. A few months ago, someone said in an email to the folk club organiser after I had been to their club that carbon fibre guitars have no place in folk clubs and only traditional wooden guitars should be tolerated!

He forwarded it to me. What he must have thought of "Senile Skifflers" a song taking the piss out of folk club musicians, written by my old partner in crime Mitch, I shudder to think! It got a good laugh at the time, which is the main thing I suppose.
