I tend to read a lot of threads, both music and BS...but I may not have anything meaningful to post to a music thread. Sometimes I post to them and get no response, or totally ignored as a non-scholar type. Well, that's life. No big deal. I have a decent knowledge of and passion for folk instruments and acoustics, am a pretty fair woodworker and so a fair to middlin' builder. I post to a lot of instrument related threads. And of course, yes, I post to a load of BS (or I post a load of BS)---but far from all.....like the Simpson's thing...didn't interest me, sorry. Point is, if you ain't got time to read them all or have trouble finding them...TRACE them.

Please refer to Don Meixner's post (and later mine)....Its a one stop shopping kinda' place. There is no doubt that the 'Cat has changed over the past year and yes, I admit to being a part of that change. A group came on about the same time that brought out some of the others into some new types of discussions and humor that wasn't really too prevalent before then. Some really got into it like Seed....others didn't.

I guess the only thing that gets me about the "more music" argument is the vague feeling that we are somehow inferior to the true scholars and researchers...less serious about the whole thing. That's crap nad demonstrably untrue. But maybe it is just a vague feeling of mine with no substance behind it. Lord knows I'm a mental case........

Max has said he likes the BS and doesn't see a problem. Ya know, if I were Max and I had the passion for blues and the knowledge of it that he has, I might be complaining about the lack of "Blues" threads.......its his place and it says "Folk AND Blues." So speak up there lad.....Demand more blues.(:<)}}
