The closed thread was about a composed piece of art music being sampled for a tellyad for rubbish products. Nothing to do with "f*lk".

A pretentiously naive quote from someone from the horse tendency labouring under the assumption that "all music is f*lk" and absolutely everyone including Uncle Fred has the right to bugger it up is used to continue the discussion as the 'harmonium' thread has been closed, I think because someone who doesn't know me at all called me 'an old trout'.

The only 'juvenile exhibitionism' displayed in this thread has been a couple of Murkans throwing their copies of Rise Up Singing out of their prams because they fail to recognise the need (in their own land) for:

(a) the tradition to be respected while conventions might be broken and

(b) the tradarts to be properly recognised and funded.

This thread is far from being a 'dud'. I thank Dave for bringing the discussion to it and Nigel for his insightful contributions.
