I doubt the author has those sorts of preconceptions anyway, Shim - everything is sourced and accounted for accordingly and I get the impression (from the Imagined Village thread) that my impressions are a good deal more jaundiced than was her (very worthy & objective) intention. Whatever the apologists might say, Sharp did believe he was doing our National Culture of Folk Song & Dance a sevice by removing it from its unwashed traditional custodians (who barely understood its significance) and placing it into the hands of more accomplished & learned proponents - an attitude that prevails even unto this day. The more I read of C#, the more he reminds me not only of Joseph Smith, but of WAV.
