Hey SoB (not going to try and type it...Will SonOfaB***h do? lol!!)
I'm sure that David is pleasant enough in real life, and so many of us have tried to engage with him on line....Including the likes of Jim Moray and Eliza Carthy....and many many other real professional musos.
I have huge amounts of empathy for those who want to explore the great diversity that is the tradition. (Choose Country here).
It's just that David just doesn't get it. Endlessly banging on about obscure instruments...etc etc etc...
Take him on one side if you get the chance. Tell him that we don't hate him as a person, but. If he continues in the same vein. he will become a pariah.
There are a lot of patient people out here, But that patience is being sorely tested.
Please tell him to get a life, and join in with the rest of us, in this wonderful world of music dance and song.
Nobody hates WAV. But at least he should listen to advice.
It is your mission...should you choose to accept it....!!!!
