Thread Name: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
Subject: RE: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
that is your opinion it is not mine, i have nothing against modern influences or international folk music being exhibited on the you tube channel, but the roots of the music, [and that is english traditional singers] should be shown as well. as for classical interpretations of folk music, John Adams, let me ask you this question, would you go to a classical opera and expect to see Bob Lewis, singing in his traditional style? the answer is no, it is inappropriate stylistically, the EFDSS community choir are imo stylistically inappropriate singing traditional songs, however i could tolerate them if there were alongside thier videos, videos or audios of english traditional singers singing the very same songs. you have attempted to shift the blame upon lizzie cornish[who has not contributed to this discussion] and me, now, because you have no case, you are accusing me of repeating the same line, your posts hint of desperation.
