Subject: RE: What is the future of folk music?
it has nothing to do with being old or grumpy,it has to do with constructive criticism,its pathetic that people are not allowed to say they do not like something without being accused of being grumpy or old.
I am 59 young,I love music and ilike to see it performed,I donot enjoy Jim morays inclusion of the rap in this balad.
for that mattere idonot enjoy Peter pears singning waly waly with benjamin britten playing a ridiculous accompaniment , the interesting point here is that no one acuuses me of being grumpy or old when i criticise pears or britten.
worshipping youth respective of performance is a gigantic mistake,yes young singers should be encouraged,but they are no more above criticism than old opera singers and classical composers or anyone else.
