SINSULL, you are not being flamed. You have been one of the most supportive people and I said so. I had a concern which I stated. I am sorry that some people responded in a manner that I found less than pleasant, but you certainly were not one of them. Some of the others, such as MMario, have now explained what they intended to say, and I accept that. I really don't know who the other people are, including the ones you mentioned, but let me say who I am. I'm 42 years old. I was born in Miami and I have lived in New York City and its Nassau County suburbs until recently, but I now live in Maryland just outside Washington. My interests in music include classic jazz, Latin jazz, blues, classic country, classic rock, folk, and acoustic singer-songwriter stuff. My favorite folk musicians are John Prine and the late Steve Goodman. I have been to the Phladelphia Folk Festival several times and Falcon Ridge once, but it is only in the past 4 or 5 years that I discovered the smaller festivals like Old Songs, Mystic, and NEFFA, and with it the more traditional style of folk music. I play a little bit of piano and guitar, but not enough to ever think of myself as a performer. That's about all.
