"P. S. As far as the spelling of "practise/practice" is concerned, you'd be better off if you spent less time quibbling about how it should be spelled and much more time doing some." (Don)...it was brought up, again, for the benefit of Stu, who (if you'll pardon the poetry) is relatively keen on such matters - and my (American) Websters still has only "practiCe" in it; but (as for my practiSe on the English flute, keys and vocals) I carry on and hope to do much more recording next year: hymns with "organ", E. trads U/A, carols both ways, and Enlish flute intros to everything (I shall add them to my Chants from Walkabouts, also, having worked out/written down the tunes this year).

And, Pip, saying that societies suffer when folks cease to practise their culture is neither "racist" nor "dishonest."
