Subject: RE: CCE Good points and Bad points (Comhaltas)
I hear a squeak in my gears!

To help the doubters on this issue, let me instance how nasty Cultass has become in the US.

Having ruined our open folk jam here, that is they snuffed it out, they set about organizing by committee several things to appear to the Irish-American community to be doing something good.

At one of these events I was given the door by one of their gombeen apprentices because Cultass in their infinite stupidity had put the empty chairless room off limits. I just needed to tune up my stuff.

Now this individual has a long history of belittling the Irish, referring to them as 'micks'. It was only when he realized he could force the few who would listen and put up with his scratching on the fiddle that he joined, and paid his $39.00.

So here we have non-Irish anti-Irish bigoted scumbags abusing the Irish.

It is not so much that Cultass isn't adapting to change as that it is complying with non-musician eejits eager to get more Eurodollars for their own little stupid eejit schemes. So recruiting anti-irish people seems to be the way to go, at least here in my part of the world.

And let me add there is no shortage of nastiness towards the Irish in unexpected places as I very rudely found when collecting OT Gospel music. Still posted on shop doors I have seen the signs "No Irish". So it is not hard to find anti-Irish sentiment even among Hispanics!

Too, since the nastiness of their main bully here, who is NOT a musician but is native Irish, moved onto the net, I and most of the gang that used go to the folk jam do not now share what we have in public. That is, we keep our Irish trad at home and perform American folk out. As I already report we are keeping it secret so that we can keep it safe from the tune butchers and fair-weather types who have smothered Irtrad in crap here in the US South.

Now dear apologists, tell me why I should have any respect for Cultass?
