(Suspicious voice) Hullo, Anyone there? I've got my tin hat on. Any incoming fire? (Normal voice) 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.

[NSP] Re: whether The Tradition should evolve?
Tradition is how things are done and it's an ever moving, never ending flow. Very similar to the evolution of a language. To insist that one certain aspect is the tradition is actually taking a snapshot of that evolution and stopping it (as if we were to still speak the English of Shakespeare). That's slightly different, of course, to deciding how a certain instrument should be played which is more of a technical discussion. Sudden changes cannot be traditional until and unless they are adopted by the people who then continue the process. Hence many instruments were part of a tradition but have now fallen away. Things like concertinas for morris dancing were new but are now regarded by many as a traditional instrument.

Or the invention of keyed smallpipes. Ned Pearson's recordings in the middle of the 20th century sounded old-fashioned compared to the others from younger musicians Peter Kennedy and others recorded. The important thing is not that The Tradition should never change, but that it should stay alive - if you want to stop it developing, get rid of all the musicians, and just listen to the records!
