Subject: RE: In Praise of Traddies!
Lizzie, I am far from a hard-core Traddie. And I have no objections, on any kind of principle, to anybody making a living out of folk. But the way Seth L was marketed was bound to rile a lot of people in the folk field, because that field (or at least many corners of it) tends to define itself by its opposition to commercial success. I'm not always convinced by those viewpoints but nobody can deny they exist.
