I have just discovered "Mudcat", being new to the world of computers,and was intrigued by Lizzie Borden's letter and the replies that were sent in. Surely if someone is in a wheelchair they don't have to go across the room, bang the bog door and make a lot of noise in the middle of a song, particularly if they have been a musician once themselves. There is such a thing as good manners, although these seem to have become lost in Folk Clubs of late. Nobody is against people in wheelchairs going to Folk Clubs or Pubs, but we expect the same courtesy to the artist,and the listening audience, from them as we do from all other people. After all audiences pay good money to listen to the guest, not to someone banging about during
someone's set.
