Dick- you've just asked Per Laban to stop telling you what to play!

You may not like my combination of a 'trad' tune and a 'pop' song that's fine by me- there are probably other choices I make musically that you don't like either! I've learned a lot from older musicians over the years & one lesson I've picked up is tolerance.
    I like Sam Cooke MUCH better than many/most? folk luminaries who shall be nameless but I'm not about to start an exchange about our musical preferences.
   I like the polka 'Taglioni' & it segues well into 'Donald where's your troosers' - the locals like it anyway & also used to in Ireland- do you object to this?

   However the words that stand out to me in your reply to my last post are I PREFER- doesn't that say it all?


I think the Christmas shutdown is a good opportunity to close this thread. It has run its course, and threads with over a thousand messages put a heavy burden on the workings of the 'Cat.
