I am mad as Hell Andy Parfitt replied to my email It looks like he thinks Folk and Roots music is not suitable for a younger audience. That makes me so angry. I like all types of music I like some tunes and songs from a variety of sources. Some Classical pieces, some pop tunes, bits of reggae etc. At the same time I hate some other pieces Have you heard the Brittany Spears song with the Titanic slop in it? Right now I am listening to andy Kershaws last show on minidisc and there is a wonderful uplifting african tune on. I dont see how anyone could not like it even A.Parfitt. I dont think my taste in music has ever changed that much and so I believe I would have liked the Andy Kershaw show as much when I was ten as I do now. So I would like that music to be available nationwide for anyone to listen to. Instead more Dance music is promised.

The problem with pop music today is it is all image. You dont have to play instruments or even sing well. Good Looks are all that seem to count and that is not a healthy message to give to children.
