OK, OK

First of all my "damn" was neither fun spirited or mean spirited.   Let's just say it was....................spirited.

Gloux, you will never convert me. I've been kicking around 40 years and have played with 'em all. I have been to concerts with old-timey acts and they have not been memorable.

I have tried to sit in with my upright bass with this lot and have had to try to pinch myself to stay awake.

If someone does not know what I mean when I say that the music has no edge, than I guess I feel sorry for them.

Defend it all you want, enjoy it even more. I'll take a hot banjo player any day. Thank God music evolves.
