"So Jim, sorry if I shock too much by having been in close agreement with you all along..."
I didn't really believe we weer that far apart and I reallt don't have a problem with people's own personal circumstances - I have to content myself with going to a monthly singing session where there is no recognisable policy
Fortunately it is run by a very fine singer whose repertoire tends towards traditional songs and new ones made using old styles - her pièce de résistance is Con 'Fada' O'Drisceoll's BEN HUR
She has also a fine sense of balance which gives a great mix to any evening

For me, I have a foot in oth camps - I love to sing and listen, but am also involved in putting fifty yeears of work into a context that people will bw able to access long after I've moved to Northern Greece (or whichever heaven they're sent to when they've finished here)
