and in response to Joes note, it seems to me that the BlueGrassers, the Pop-Rockers and the 'New Celts' have so much hard-driving, high-energy stuff in their music, that they run thru tunes/songs like a snow blower, with about the same result....no one seems to have time to actually WRITE new songs continuously.....so everything from Beethoven to Bill Monroe to Smashing Pumpkins gets re-cycled by one of the others....some of the results make my hair stand on end!!! Expecting a Celtic version of "Uncle Penn" any day now...
