Why can't people write their own copy? David's a sound critic and a damn fine singer to boot - seems fair enough to me whatever name he does it under. You get that all the time these days, like on The Apprentice when people tell us their strengths & weaknesses. No bad thing either - I'm sure we're all aware of our own as singers / musicians and how good we are in our own right or else in comparison to others, otherwise why would we bother? Times Modesty can be a curse, or lack of self-confidence, and bottle...


As for names - in the common law you can go by whatever name you like. I am twice Christened: once by my parents as Sean Breadin, then again as Sedayne by pure accident. On Mudcat I can at least choose to be Suibhne O' Piobaireachd, though I don't like signing in because I've had some bad PM experiences. It's an open forum, which would be better kept open, but that's just me.

S O'P

PS - I think Trolls are figments of on-line folklore & some particular repulsive name-calling that goes on around here...
