Crowsister, any debacles are all in your head. To be honest, nothing much that gets said here in the name of "criticism" matters a whit, as it's pretty much the same half a dozen people saying the same things over and over and over again in dozens of threads. Mudcat's "purists" are pretty much dismissed as cranks everywhere else.

At the end of the day, Jim Moray will make records. People who like them will buy them, people who don't, won't. People who think there is too much emphasis on commercial folk music will keep singing to each other, and telling each other how fantastically talented they all are. Whatever. Twas always thus.
