Musket - love it - he was a lovely man.
Howard - please don't accuse me of having a chip on my shoulder - I find that quite OFFENSIVE , because ,if one cares to refer to my many posts over the years , I am as polite and in addition to being reasonably informed as a decent person can be, and I love being a contributor and avid reader of Mudcat posts.
Besides if I had a chip on my shoulder I would have one on each shoulder as I consider myself a well-ballanced person
I don't contribute to a thread when I consider I don't have sufficient knowledge of the Subject Matter - I nevertheless enjoy reading such things.
Of course your statement "Your criticism of the delivery is a personal opinion " is obvious - it's not someone else's opinion - it's mine.
You will hear a fabulous cross-section of music - and definitely some not / and to, my liking (depending on the guest) on Desert Island discs on RADIO 4.
