Thread Name: Ewan MacColl ...Folk Friend Or Foe?
Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl ...Folk Friend Or Foe?
"Does the originator of this thread actually perform, sing, write, make music?"

Pointless question Guest (not unbommon).

All that is required for the valid expression of an opimion is an appreciation of music. It is not necessary to be a musician for that to apply.

If you have nothing to add, other than personal attack, go play elsewhere.

Ewan's contribution to folk music is indisputable. His opinions about performance were just that, HIS opinions, to be accepted or rejected at will. His people skills were a problem only to those who allowed them to overshadow his singing skills.

BTW, guest, I DO sing, perform, write, and make music. Does this give any extra weight to MY opinions?..........I THINK NOT!
