My point, in reply to anyone who puts up comments, saying they think so so and so is better than x performer[and that includes my own comments]is that is not fact but opinion.
When i give my opinion that nic jones was a fantastic accompanist and had great stage presnce but was not an outstanding singer[ even though he had a pleasant voice], that is not fact but opinion.
likewise when i remark about Dave Swarbrick as a fiddle accompanist being outstanding that is my opinion not fact., and that goes for all other comments made on this forum about different performers.
"The output of these groups have no more shelf-life than a fart in a thunderstorm - here today - by midnight."
Jim, your opinion, one that in my opinion is too kind.
