Musical snobbery indeed ;-D

It's not something I'm accusing you of. Accusation is unnecessary and thanks for acknowledging it.

I respect your view and it's one I have related to for many years -- long before you fell ill.

But I'm a pleb when it comes to my taste in music. As a musician, I am classically trained but, since my teens, my main musical muse has been traditional folk music. Vox populi in its pure form, either unaccompanied or with medieval instrumentation.

I don't look down on modern interpretations of it ("folk rock"). I love what Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span did, and what Seth Lakeman still does. If it weren't for the likes of Martin Carthy then I would probably have never have gone on the exploration that led me to pure traditional music, which is what floats my adult harmonic boat and inspires much of what I write and perform these days.

It's just a matter of taste, innit? And choirboys in cassocks are cute.
