Hi, Big Al. Welcome to the dark side of the Mudcat. This is supposed to be a site for people who play and sing or who are at least interested in origins or music theory. But you posted something about recordings you were glad to find, and what do you get? Snarky stuff about your typos and vulgar remarks about the CD's.

Some people will do anything to keep from actually listening to music or playing it. After all, to do it, they would have to get off their chairs and break the tube's hypnotic spell. That takes effort and self-discipline.

I love music and play it, and I volunteer my time to help other people play it. I have indeed helped people, but I can't tell you how many times I have killed a thread by posting something (such as a MIDI or a link to the notes) which implies that the dark side will have to get up off its chair.

By the way, I haven't been to the Scottish wool shop, but some of my favorite recordings came from a petrol station on a gray and windswept corner of the Hebrides. Buy folk music wherever you can and help your fellows on 'the road less travelled.'
