Art, I am hardly a young person at 57, but I did not "discover " folk or traditional muisc until I was 54, still keeps me in a wide eyed wonder discovernig more and more about the music and the wonderful folks that make it. Jerry and I got to know one another in my first thread postings and we share a lot of common background, and I am honored to call him my friend. He likes to keep one conservative in his stable of friends to just be exotic and I am his pet Republican!
