Oh dear - that wasn't what I meant at all! Just an honest appeal for
information which seems to be common knowledge to many, but obscure to
me, and I gather, others too. Because I don't know who is truly Outside
The Pale I might get the wrong idea, and start thinking wrong things
about absolute heroes/heroines.
I really didn't mean to muddy the water, but I would just be interested
to know who is considered a good role model, and, yes, who is considered
not so, by those who have a lot more knowledge of the nsp's than I do,
so that at least I can make up my own mind.
I don't promise to be orthodox, and I reserve the right to my own
musical judgement, but it would be useful to know, and might save a lot
of time, and perhaps money in buying CD's. I have to admit that when
people come up to me at events where I'm working & want to know about
playing particular early instruments, I have been known to quietly
suggest certain outlets which might be better treated with caution, just
to save them wasting their money, but I'm not going to stand up & shout
about it.
My off-list reference was to save anyone having to Name Names in public,
which would be embarrassing.
I hope this isn't offending anyone, or getting into more politics. Music
doesn't deserve that.

So a whispering campaign?
Is this really a good idea?

Include me in copy too pleez.
