*shaking my head sadly*...I guess I AM too old to maintain 'just' the right amount of political correctness to keep a point alive and not appear a total snob...*sigh* I have said SO many times that I DO listen to, and sing-- 'new' songs, I just have an opinion about nomenclature. If I have to type 6 paragraphs of explanation every time I try to make the point with some semi-humorous remark, I surrender...and if Joel(y) is so thin-skinned that a couple of smart-alec remarks for a couple of old codgers like Art & myself are horribly intimaidting, then he is SURE in the wrong business...(I suspect he will prove NOT to be intimidated) and I AM certainly sorry if he IS offended...If I had been talking face-to-face, it would have been easy to convey a wry opinion without offensive overtones...I guess I just hurried my comments too much....

Moonchild...I am not very good at abject contrition when I meant very little by the remark in the first place...but I assure you, NEVER would I make fun of you, your music, your choice of songs, or your degree 'folk-purity'...I hope that you simply come to the Getaway and participate in the joy and fellowship, knowing that songs of ALL sorts will be sung all weekend...*smile*..I'd be glad to chat with you privately about this, if you should wish...but I'd rather just greet you as a friend sing with you...
