Seriously Ruth... you don't wanna smack that Tuba player on the bottom!!! oh dear!! the thought is sending ssshhudderrs though me :s

Thanks T Wright Racket, I like your point too, about how regions gettin a bit too arsy about other region tunes being played...

Just appreciate the music...

I have seen my Dad start a traditional tune and end up playing the Troggs "Wild Thing" (for eg.) from the mid-70's on and the "traditionalists" used to jump on his back while another section of people (late 20's, early 30's at the time) embraced it and realised the potential of moving with the times.

It's that same old argument... and it wont leave...

the egos wont let it ;)

Keep the traditional music alive but not the argument please.

Peace, Harmony and Tranquillity (PHAT for short) ;)
