—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
“In the past, the English tried to impose a system wherever they went. They destroyed the nation’s culture and one of the by- products of their systemisation was that they destroyed their own folk culture.”
—Martin Carthy (b. 1941)
“If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.”
