Is what is. What goes down is what happens. It might be completely wrong (or right ;-) Still, I do hate to see the watering down of the roots musics I love most in the name of that vague ideal called the melting pot. David Amram was among the first to blend all the acts at the given folk festivals into a finale musical hodge-podge of multi-decibel fusion and/or confusion. --- Add the big $$$$$ and that's how World Music was born.

But, again, is what is! And the name of the game is "BLUR"!! Clarity is sacrificed. Misinformation becomes the norm.
