Dick, you know I think the world of you, but your post indicates that you didn't check Conrad's postings to this forum in the past. He is an accomplished flamer and troll who seems to get his gratification from starting a fight with bigoted posts and links to sites that if you would follow through them as Jon did, you would see that it isn't about the music. It is about promulgating the same crap that has gone on forever. He is isn't about music. The music is a vehicle for him to spread the same old crap.

And most of the posts, with a couple of notable exceptions, indicated that all of the posters (Nationalist and Loyalist alike) felt that the legacy of the Orange music is important to preserve. If you were to do a check on my posts, you would find that about 2 years ago there was a post in one of the threads by me in which I believed that this was important music to preserve. I still feel that way. It is not what my family would sing, but it must be preserved.
