""I never met John Brune, but I have massive respect for his work and on the occasions I met him...""
Sorry Mike - confused is right.
Sentence should have read "
"I never met John Brune, but I have met Reg Hall numerous times and cooperated with him during our contribution to 'Voice of the People' and Bobby Casey's album, 'Casey in the Cowhouse. I have a massive respect for his work and on the occasions I met him..."
Accidentally deleted some of the text before I posted it.

You appear to be deliberately setting out to sabotage this thread
You have had my explanation for my comments on John Brune. quite verifiable, and I have given the background to my criticism of Reg, as I did at the time - take them or leave them , it is of no interest to me, one way or the other, nor is anything else you have to say - our engagement is off, I'm afraid!!
You commented on other times I have lost my rag on this forum - carefully omitting to mention that they occurred on non-music threads where all involved sling invective at each other as if they are handing out Smarties - I have become extremely bored by Israeli supporters referring to me as "Antisemite" because of my attitude to Gaza, or "ignorant, gullible liar" because I don't find W.W.1 a glorious memory or "a supporter of terrorism" because I hate Islamophobia or racism.
I'm not proud of my shortness of temper on these subjects, but I do object it being used by someone who serially abuses people when he doesn't agree with them and who, not too long ago, threatened me with physical violence - "glass house - stones" springs to mind - not too long ago you were ejected from a discussion forum because of your outrageous, abusive behaviour - I genuinely hope you are not going to repeat the exercise here - for all our sakes.
I notice you have spitefully reopened the John Brune thread - suits me - it allows people to review the John Brune story in full.our tame troll and drag him out from under his bridge - now he's snapping at all of us - well done!!
I'm off to Dublin tomorrow - I was hoping to resume our (interesting, as far as I'm concerned) discussion on the topic at the weekend - perhaps not, if you've managed to send this thread crashing down in flames, as seems to be your intention.
I really do have nothing to say to you, and hopefully, nor do you to me - like the lady in the wrinkle cream ad says; "and I'd like to keep it that way for as long as possible".
