The Beaton Sisters

[CMcG]

Perhaps I liked it and perhaps I didn't . In truth , I did like certain parts of it . However , the shusshing and lecturing are not necessary . We get your point . A point to remember , this is not the faculty lounge , it's the real world .

Some of us have been listening to Gaelic music both past and present versions for a long , long , time ( decades ago and still current stuff ) and we still may not be overly impressed . Enough said .

Actually, this isn't the real world. It's the Celtic Music sub-forum of Xmarks. I would assume that everyone who posts here does appreciate Celtic music, otherwise they are in the wrong area.

My shushing was intended as gentle teasing, not a lecture, and I'm glad you grasped my point about listening to something in its entirety before making comments dismissing it. I thought it would be obvious that my comment about confiscating people's kilts if they don't like this music was a joke, but as often happens, perhaps something was lost in the text rendition. Sorry if I offended anyone.

People are certainly entitled to their opinions, but if all we did on Xmarks was say "aye" or "nay," we wouldn't have very much discussion. Furthermore, people's taste in music is often intimately tied up in their cultural background, so casually brushing off someone's music can actually be offensive. To that end, would you care to elaborate on what you liked or disliked about the music? Perhaps offer a comparison to something that does impress you?
