Dave ,you misunderstand me ,of course I am not against books. neither have I ever said I am .I thought it was an interesting Thought provoking article.
I am in strong disagreement with Manifold,about his attitude to traditional music in school. I also think folksongs belong to the people,and disagree with his exclusivity,I also said that I didnt feel right about folksongs being used for adverts[it is just a gut feeling].
Rowan,I agree with your last point.
CAN Posters please understand, that just because I start a topic off,itdoes not mean I entirely agree with the authors sentiments.
