Joel,

I am truly sorry to have, however unintentionally, caused this upset.
Please let me explain:
There was a thread in Mudcat where someone recommended your CD 'The Elfin Knight'. It sounded like the sort of thing I like so I went on to iTunes to listen to short excerpts.   I really liked what I heard and was bowled over by your glorious voice so decided to buy the CD.

The Amazon price was about £13 (I think) and iTunes price £8. As pennies are not plentiful I decided that £5 was a very big saving and there was the added bonus of not having to wait for the CD to be delivered. I am really sorry now that I didn't order from Amazon as the detailed sleeve notes you've described would have been well worth the extra £5. I guess now I will have to buy another copy to get the valuable information in the sleeve notes.

Because I had no sleeve notes I didn't have the words for Lord Darly and I like the song very much. So I posted the Lyrics request on Mudcat and this started this whole sorry ball rolling.

All I can say is 'mea culpa' but add that the CD is outstandingly good and I can't praise it enough. I play recorders and baroque flute in an amateur (but hopefully not amateurish!) early music ensemble and your CD has been the inspiration for a change of direction for us. I won't, of course, steal your arrangements!


Malcolm:
My apology to Joel is for you too - I am so sorry to have been the unwitting cause of any unpleasantness.
