I assume that these source wars, where one person trots out his sources, and someone else trots out his in rebuttal, are purely academic discussions with little or no relationship to actual real- world playing. Otherwise, if you guys need to be told how to play musically, if you have to look it up in your historical sources, then there is something fundmentally wrong with your own innate sense of music making. At the end of Stewart McCoy's last post I felt like saying "congratulations, you just discovered musicianship!" (not that Stewart ever acknowledges any of my posts. He simply replies to the list saying the same things I just said, without even the courtesy of a cc). I wonder, though, whether anyone who considers himself/ herself a serious and accomplished player is going to be swayed significantly by anything in those sources.
