Subject: RE: Calling time on Blackface Morris
Bonz - there may at present be some truth in what you say..
But given time and positive encouragement, and a welcoming environment..
You might be surprised...
There have already been notable experiments in cross-cultural folk music/dance collaboration,
to varying degrees of success..
But obviously, diversity and inclusivity can not be forced on folk
in a rigid formal doctrinaire 'quota' manner..
That would be self defeating, and definitely would not work...
