If Maggie Thatcher gets up your nose

[Despina dello Stagno]

Oh dear. I foresee moral pressure to restrict my listening further.

Of a dozen relevant cds, I should wish to forego only one permanently: some (Monteverdi) are excellent,

Luckily, this one is inviolate (case of mistaken identity)

[pastoralguy]

Okay...

Sailor's songwriter was named Phil Pickett. Not to be confused with Philip Pickett.

Pickett seems apt as a solution to getting up one's nose...

[Ed: There have been two queries as to whether this thread can be considered relevant to Early Music on the tenuous grounds that a composer of popular music in the 1970s bears the same name as a practitioner of early music. To be moved to Talking Aboit Music, where Pabs's joke will not be lost to the world. ff]

I guess I can't see the point or relevance of the title to msg 1. Yep, I did watch all 2 mins 40 secs of the video.

I was, perhaps over obliquely, trying to pre-empt the sort of crowd that bays for the blood of any recording artist that commits gross moral turpitude, in this case another (after Robert King) pillar of the early music establishment. [at this stage, still allegedly]
Both the plea, and the request not to throw out the baby with the bathwater have clearly miscarried.

[Flosshilde]

I think 'over obliquely' is an understatement. Were you trying to set up a question for the 'Round Britain Quiz'

& I've no idea where the babies & bathwater come into it

[french frank]

Only the over obliqueness will save this thread from elimination ...
