It’s a good idea to read other’s comments before coming to unjustified conclusions. I’ve written on MB enough times that rigid categorisation of genres is not only pointless but implies a peculiar form of musical puritanism should be practiced by musicians themselves. OK, we can accept there might be such a thing as ‘pure’ forms of music but most musicians today refuse to pay attention to such rules. Granted someone like Leadbelly can be easily slotted into a category but why the hysteria about this whole issue?
If you’d paid any attention to my posts you’d have encountered my “I don’t know where else to put this” comments.
Now can we just return to the music and put aside this silly debate?

And where did you get this ‘Aryan’ stuff from? My ancestry is a mix of Welsh, Spanish Jew with a sprinkling of Australian aborigine.
