Thread Name: The Imagined Village - update.
Subject: RE: The Imagined Village - update.
Sharp eye,

the original post was a post, although rather long (1000+ words) not am academic disertation. As far as I can tell it was concerned with a "project" - The Imagined Village. The general feeling, supported by visits to its website, is an exciting collection of more or less traditional material sung and played by quite good people who play well. It claims all sorts of things but I guess a reinterpretation is to be expected.

It looks to me like most of us wanted to find out more about The Imagined Village. What your post has done is to take one sentance or two   and make a point that most people who have studied song collection in any depth accept, but entirely misses the point of the original post. Which inspite of 1000= words is "look out here is some great music".

But I am sure you are aware that you are in great comapny, lots of us join in and make extremely valuable and astute points and some of us get off on irrelevant points and alot of the time ew cannot tell who is who.
