Martin,

I am sorry I put you in my list of malicious thugs and dictators and heinous fiends in the thread about The Home Secretary And Folk Music. Your comments here, and your kind mention of moi, shows me how wrong I can be even when prvious actions by verbal sparring adversaries, with their previously displayed lack of taste in matters musical, might have made me a bit premature in my stridency. It is now clear(er) to me that you at least finished High School---but probably in the inferior Chicago public schools system of the 1950s---where I also, sadly, spent 4 useless years, except for one teacher, before discovering a drugged up Bob Gibson and the masmerizing night club folk music scene in that good city.

Please accept my heartfelt whatever.
