Subject: RE: Teachers & Folk Music
And when we are done with teachers, can we get onto the issue of recorders? When Jacqui was alive and we were involved in the running of Hazlitt Folk, I wrote blurbs about the residents, and called her recorder playing "fiery". I think anyone who ever saw her play would have agreed with that. Technical limitations, in some respects she had, and no baroque players would have wanted her type of playing, but it was NOT "toot-toot".

It ain't the instrument, it's what you do with it.
