Jim Carroll Hope for folk music - Jon Doran! (262* d) RE: Hope for folk music - John Doran! 16 May 20


I'm grateful for your proving what an unpleasant individual are once again - it really does people like this young singer no good having people like you on his side
I was happy to discuss his singing - his approach interests me because singing like that has created a great deal of problems for the revival
Our songs are narrative, 'Peggy and the Soldier' is a beautiful songs full of interesting things to say
If you drown it in musical soup, as he does, it becomes difficult to follow
He has a fair voice and he's a skillful instrumentalist but he can't decide whether he wants to be a singer or a musician so one cancels out the other
Personally, I believe Martin Carthy and his wannabe copiers have the same problem
There - I've shown you mine - you show me yours - without the abuse or you'll get your own thread closed
There really is no need to be so defensive
Jim
