GUEST, thanks for that post from John Moulden. This is why I have said that Bladey is ill informed, and a bigot. Moulden's scholarship is beyond question, and besides that he is (by all reports) a damned decent human being. His views on songs from both traditions is very similar to mine. We may not agree on all songs and whether or not they are appropriate, but that is the nature of things. Nonetheless, he quotes facts and researches before he answers. Bladey, on the other hand, just throws out propaganda and bullshit based on his own narrow view. Moulden is another in the vein of Wolgang from Germany. These are people that one may not always agree with, but who are worthy of great respect as they exhibit a desire to be informed and share that with others. The analysis is always open to debate, but the intent is honorable and I am proud to have come to know them.

Conrad, on the other hand, has caused me to quit eating Greek food. Just another reason to dislike his brand of bigotry.............LOL.
