" "Perhaps they weren't meant to be heard in the clubs in the first place"
Interesting that there was not one voice raised in protest to this outrageous statement."

I'm also surprised that not one voice was raised in protest to the fact that you took ONE sentence of what I said and manipulated to become an arguing pint, when if you read my statements - I am supporting the style of performer you wish to see presented, but questioning if the setting might be the issue.

I always question whether the collector is filtering what they gather to fulfill their own vision, rather than report and hold up a mirror to what the tradition created. Perhaps that explains why contemporary folk traditions are not even considered.
