People who would sit singers like Fred Jordan, to sit and the back and watch how it's done and who write off over half a century's work as "diehard traditional librarianship trying to own the folk world" is as hostile as it gets as far as I'm concerned Muskie - especially as many of them (not pointing a finger) couldn't find their folk arses with both hands.
Nice to be made welcome in a revival I helped to set up though - leaves one with a warm glow.
Not one of you have responded to the damage you have done with the confusion and the unlikely event of being taken seriously by those who could ring the changes needed to the folk scene - I find such indifference pretty hostile
