Hullo,
Anyone there? I've got my tin hat on. Any incoming fire?

Attempts at humour on the internet are dangerous and generally misunderstood.
I am the vile editor of the NPS Journal who changed the title of
Anthony's article without his consent and I have apologized to him
privately and will publish a full apology in the next issue.
Anthony presented two contributions to the Journal, the rant article
coming earlier in the year well before any start had been made on
compiling the issue and then later I received, the wonderful interview
with Hannah Hutton and Jimmy Little which threw so much light on a
particular section of our tradition and together with Hannah's
photographs it became a very important part of the Journal. i am sure
that Anthony remembers that article going back and forth for
correction until we got it as right as possible.
While this was going on, I was typesetting the magazine which involves
competing
influences, to get the content balanced , to get articles starting on
the left or right as appropriate, to end up with a multiple of 4
pages, and I thought that there would not be room for Anthony's Rant
article, until almost magically as I tidied up all the pages, a space
appeared which demanded an article of just about that length. A few
font changes... and it was in and I was grateful.
I assembled the whole thing, hit the build contents key -- and the
contents page didn't reflect the energy contained in the publication.
I looked down the contents and felt that Anthony's title did not sit
well against the previous title, and (woe is me) I tried changing
Anthony's title in what I thought was a subtle and slightly humorous
way and the magazine felt more balanced. However, I forgot to seek
Anthony's permission. OOps. An editor must not offend his
correspondents or the Journal will be empty.
So again I apologize for my oversight as I will do in any venue where
Anthony raises the point.
As to releasing Anthony's article to this list, I will try to post
another contribution about copyright, the NPS, and the internet, which
I hope will generate some interesting discussion.

Hi Antony,
How about posting the article here? There are lots of people who are
interested but are not NPS members

Hello John
That's sounds great.
It's exactly the response I was hoping for when I submitted the article
on Rants to the NPS Journal. I'd titled the piece "Anyone For a Rant?"
but it was apparently unsuitable and altered without my consent or
knowledge to "A Bit Of a Rant" which rather missed the idea of an
invitation to try them.
Cheers and every good wish for some enjoyable music making,
Anthony
