I have no idea who you are, or what I've done to deserve your admiration, but I quite agree. However, two rules to remember when arguing with Jimmy Carroll.

1.

I have to say that I'm both fascinated and dismayed by exchanges between Jim Carroll and Fred McCormick above. It is ever so slightly embarrassing to witness two people, who I both respect and admire, engaged in a no-holds-barred street fight! Eye-gouging and blows-below-the-belt shouldn't really be allowed in any sort of fighting.

Far be it from me to spoil your fun but wouldn't it advance the cause of traditional music more if you both found some common ground and also found a way of pooling your considerable talents? Just a thought.
