o'hanrahan--You should be thankful you haven't heard my songs (but of course you were being ironic since you read my message!) or you might say of me what I said of Taylor.
However, I have been listening seriously to folk music since 1957/8, and have a reasonably extensive collection of records, CDs, and books. Perhaps that gives me some right (if one needs a right) to comment on the performance of an artist or group. I gave a couple of concrete examples of my opinion...you may agree or disagree, as is your right.--John
