[edit] Ernest Farrar

Did I never reply to you. I'm sorry, just slipped my mind I guess, that usually doesn't happen :( I'm not the one to ask about images, I have yet to upload one, but here are some places you can try or people to ask...User:Karmafist , User:Johann Wolfgang , Upload Images , Copyright tags , Wikipedia:Help. Hope these help, somewhere there should be your answer :) Joe I 23:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: UK Theme

I've added the cover. I just tagged it as fair use of an album or single cover. JRawle (Talk) 12:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Stanley Black article

Hey Rob - no I don't mind you expanding the Stanley Black article - that was good actually. I just made a start and feeling a bit lazy, pasted the Farnon Society article in (but I did acknowledge that). I question the "pioneer of jazz" statement in the opening para though. Also, why remove "Phase Four" from the Decca reference? Stanley Black put Phase Four on the map. Anyway, we both love Stanley Black - so that's good. I notice you have also written an article on Ronald Binge. My friend Wilfrid Jones (violinist) played with Ronny in the Mantovani Orchestra in the 1960's. He lives here in Canberra Australia now. I think he is about 85. He's had a distinguished career in many orchestras. I may add something about him to Wik soon. Cheers, Musicmaker 16:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British Light Music Composers

I note that you have removed the paragraphs, which I had inserted, describing the work of Philip Sowcroft. As this work describes many lesser known composers, I feel that those wishing information on Light Music should be informed of its existence. The link in External Link means little by its title alone, yet it is a definitive work. I did not think it could be placed in your Notable British Composers as this category is too limited for such a wide work. I therefore will re-insert it under its own heading.

Please let me know if there was any other reason for you to remove it.

[edit] More on Light Music

Thank you for your prompt reply. I do not agree with you, but will not press the matter. Have you read many of the "Garlands"? I would say that they are more about the light music composed than about the composers. I am in no way pushing the link, but feel it is the only source, at least that I have found, of the greatest amount of light music and of numerous (about 1000) composers. It is not practical for Wiki to include most of this information and believe that more than a simple link and one-sentence description is required. I think that some emphasis should be made that Light Music is so much greater than that written by the few composers so far listed in Wiki.
