And I happen to be extremely well-acquainted with baroque, classical and romantic-era music, Don. Bits of renaissance and medieval as well, though I don't pretend to know as much about those. Best to not post such unwise assertions. I do believe I covered your "diddley-bits" point in a post above. And you still don't get it. Playing around with tunes in the way that good players of diddley music do is absolutely not comparable with the kind of interpretation that classical players employ. In fact, when it comes to diddley music, the word "interpretation" carries a sort of pompous allusion that I personally reject. Wrong word, wrong spirit. Different worlds starting from totally different starting points, both musically and (almost more importantly) socially.
