I got an offlist note chiding me for having posted that item in the
first place. It was just gossip, really. Larry could be right in saying
that it may not have been a snub, but I think it was a rebuff from Mick.
And even though I'm not much of a fan of JP's style, I must say that he
is 1) undeniably original, 2) deserving of credit for popularizing the
harp as a lead instrument, and 3)from New Jesey like me. Hope that
balances the picture. And remember, De gustibus non est disputandum-in
matters of taste there is no dispute. This from one who does not shrink
from a good debate.
