Folkie Dave,you are attempting to personalise this discussion if we were talking to one another face to face, you would not use my name twice as you have done in your post
I find your post unnecessarily aggressive, indeed, I have found many of your past posts to me unnecessarily aggressive.

it is a fact that the very nature of being professional and having to accept any gigs that come along can lead to situations where a performer after many consecutive one night gigs in different parts of the country can just switch on to automatic pilot and seem disinterested.
Peter could never have been accused of sounding disinterested.
Finally Dave, how you see it does not interest me very much,
The peoples whose musical opinions I value, are musicians I respect.
you are of course entitled to your opinion, but when you talk about virtuoso musicians and singers, you seem to have given yourself a pedestal of some authority, you are just like everyone else, whether they be a road sweeper, bricklayer,or book seller,entitled to an opinion., but I do not agree with your opinion
