Conrad, John P. is the kind of musician who inspires other people to learn to sing and play. Just by performing, he has quite probably done more to spread interest in folk music than a whole regiment of people such as you. Actually, Conrad, when it comes to increasing interest in, and enlarging the audience for, folk music, you are counterproductive.

I believe Skivee has blown the whistle on you, little man! Actually, rather than spreading interest in folk music, you are the kind of boor that tends to drive people away from it.

"I am an academic and folk musician...."

No. You are just a pompous twit. Nothing more than a legend in your own beer-sodden mind.

I have two words for youGO AWAY!Don Firth
