True musicians like most genres of music provided the players are competetent. Oh no they don't, Dave. Believe me; I know a lot of professional and semi-pro musicians. They will certainly appreciate the technical competence of the muso's while at the same time finding the style not to their liking one little bit and making fairly rude remarks about it. This also applies to playing where professional muso's may have to play stuff they basically despise simply to earn a crust. It's a precarious existence and one I'm glad I'm not good enough to have to deal with. In fact I made a vow as I got older not to criticise modern pop music as my parents did with the Stones etc. I don't like a lot of it but it doesn't mean it's bad or young people shouldn't be allowed to. Pop music is all about being a teenager and probably in love and things hit you in a different way then. Those were the days! Yes they were.. :-) Being ****ed at parties with wall-to-wall crumpet. But why do you get sixty-somethings who are still besotted by The Beatles? Pathetic! Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. Tudor, could you please a proper new-reader or at least do something about quoting properly so that we don't have to guess as to who is saying what? -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks.

Sorry - that's New Google Groups for you. It arbitrarily decided to switch from the Old Groups a week or so ago and is frankly rubbish. It may switch back as it's done it in the past. I've no idea what it's up to and frankly not exactly in the mood to investigate given the abuse one is liable to get for no good reason. I'm sure everything will be much more agreeable in the COL discussion group, weather only, Dawlish-free zone. It doesn't get much better than that.
