Obie's right. It got hijacked by Nashville. But, Kevin is also correct. There's lots of the old stuff, and old style new stuff, still out there, but you're not likely to hear it on the media controlled outlets. I fear that what that really means is that lots of it will die as the local performers pass on. It is a vibrant folk tradition that needs top be recorded and documented. That kind of work might come to have the same stature as the "Child Ballad" collection has today in another few centuries.
