Michaelr, it is gratifying to know that we have someone as knowledgeable as you are to keep the rest of us poor idiots in line. Or maybe not. One of the hallmarks of wisdom is not being judgemental in the way you just were. The gentleman you took a shot at can probably play more of O'Carolan's music from memory, on the Uillean Pipes no less, than you will be able to with a lifetime of study and the scores in front of you. Larry "Lorcan" Otway, otherwise known as InOBU in these precincts, is an Attorney, a human rights activist, and a great musician. If you had any history here, you would know that he is also dyslexic. You can be forgiven for not having that knowledge, as Larry doesn't mention it often. But jumping out with petty little criticism's designed to put yourself in a superior position just demonstrates something about you that isn't admirable.

Larry, thanks for all the knowledge, wisdom, and passion you share with us on a regular basis.

Mick
