Subject: RE: Review: Folk Awards - Mike Harding
I thought I would give it a week or so and have another look back and see if there was a response to my post.
I found it very entertaining but as expected it just re-inforced my opinion that too many people on this list are "insular, purist, ageing and irrelevant?" to quote someone else. As far as the first response to my post from Shizrod or whatever she's called goes - I loved the "fluffy" and "easy listening" bits - that's not something I would normally associate with myself [as a Scott Walker fan - have you heard Tilt?] but "Far from keeping our favourite music in a "dark room" we would like to share it with the world" got a real belly laugh. That does not appear to be the tone of some of the posts [including her later ones]. Though I must admit to seeing some very sensible stuff here as well - but not enough to want to get a regular fix.
