For Ricardo and others interested in...

I listen to the programme "Highland Hip" on a Sunday.
This week's was a cracker IMO.
It actually addresses the same sort of issues affecting Trad/Modern Flamenco too.

I thought some of the synchopations were right on!

Press "Listen Again" and wind on a minute (unless you want to catch the end of "Gardener's Question Time"

)

The whole thing is only 15mins long, so no real waste of your life.

cheers,

Ron

RE: For Ricardo and others intereste... (in reply to Ron.M)

Thanks Ron, it was interesting. I'm sure there are many musical traditions facing the same predicament - keep it alive with innovation, but without turning it into Something Completely Different.

(Oh, and by the way, I very much enjoyed the accents. "What accents?" says Ron "I dinnae hear any accents."
