We all have a shared interest in folk music but there is a limit to how much discussion we can have on folk music alone.

We need a little moderation to keep the loonies in orderand I think Joe is doing fine. He might have been wrong to "noise up" Carol, but I've watched the wee bruiser put a sackfull of right wing bigots in their place, so why put on the petted lip with poor Joe .
Joe's great he's never deleted any of my posts although i'm always on about Christian hypocrisy and what a shower of wankers the yanks are.

I think he's fair minded and would secretly like to be a progressive
God bless him!!    ...Ake
