A clear case to ramp up our public diplomacy.
Your point is well taken. My underlying concern lies with mainstream (i.e.: commercialized) culture. There exists however, a subculture of poets (here as well) who would agree with me. Marissa Ranello is a favorite of mine among these. This is a subculture which quite openly stands in opposition to the mainstream. Was it ever thus? I suppose.

I will bear that in mind about Bulgarian folk music in future. I'll ask my music guy about it. (Feel free to pass along any suggestions, please.) Today he introduced me to Peter Warlock, who sounded suspiciously Baroque. An interesting story with that one according to him. Evidently, he'd compose in studio, then at some other location, pen viscious diatribes against his compositions. Might be interesting to put the two together and see which incarnation had the better judgement. "It Can't Be Just About Us"--Frank Schnittger, ETian Extraordinaire
