GUEST,Terry K my letter to the editor (66* d) RE: my letter to the editor 02 Dec 06


I was at Hitchin one night for Martin Carthy (I'd always been a big fan, saw him several times since the '70s) and he did exactly what Greg said earlier in the thread, tuned and tuned and better tuned ad nauseam. Sorry, but it was so bloody tedious that I lost patience and left at the break - just had to get out of there.

Martin Simpson did the same thing at Towersey last year, kept moaning on about the variable acoustics in the marquee that separated him from perfection. Has nobody told these people that it really is not so important that you can drive your audience to distraction while striving for perfect tune?

Terry
