I agreed with everything you said till you reached that part. As someone who 
grew up with, and loves, British Trad, (as well as all US Dixieland styles) I 
happily include it in my MKOM list and listen to it-often.

However  your other comment also applies to me
'But that is one man's opinion and in the grand scheme of things, not worth a 
damn' thing.'


and to paraphrase another: I can't remember who invented the original:

'I don't agree with what you say, but would fight with my life for your right 
to say it.'

As I've said I'm not a musician, so would any of you guys be interested in a 
new thread:

>From a musical point of view what is wrong with British Trad? 

Steve could start.
