No defense is needed by someone.who has not been singled out by name. This 
artist is a skilled harp player who deserves a measure of respect for 
getting out there as a professional musician and exposing people to good 
harmonica playing, pilfered or not. Plus I'm afraid the tempurature here 
would go way, way up if I named this person. I would inevitebly be accused 
of an ad hominem attack, and the fallout from all that would generate more 
heat than light. So out of respect also for the listowners, who would have 
to manage the likely mess, I decline.

At this point this topic is exhasuted from my point of view-it seems all the 
salient viewpoints have been expressed by now. Shall we move on, then?
