GUEST,ceiliwidow Martin Carthy is good/crap -discuss!! (41) RE: MARTIN CARTHY 16 Apr 01

Dom, I wasn't suggesting that Martin was writing the folk music. I think he is very good at dutifully reproducing existing folk music. Perhaps he feels it is not his job to decide which verses should stay in a song and which should be pitched because they are just "boring". I think he feels he is trying to keep them alive by singing them whole. At least that what I got when I read the quote McGrath provided.
