UB Ed Do You Know The Glengarry Bhoys? (15) RE: Do You Know The Glengarry Bhoys? 16 Dec 02


Quite possible, Don, a valid concern, yet we can't guide them all can we?

My view is such a presentation provides yet another opportunity for folks never before exposed to the genre to listen from a more familiar perspective and, hopefully, be interested enough to dig down a bit deeper for the root music. I guess my best analogy would be what the British invasion did for bluesmen in the US south. It may have taken a while, but a number of us dug deeper, thanks to the initial exposure.

I think there is something positive about presenting traditional music in a modern style.

(Was there a band behind that fiddle player?)

(By the way, old son, just finished listening to "Photograph" coming back from lunch. MOST EXCELLENT.)
