Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris - tonight - BBC4 -repeat 13/14 Oct
"Sorry to be thick Bonzo3legs, but what the hell is 'twee'?"

Wiktionary says:-
"Overly quaint, dainty, cute or nice."
Example - Those Beatrix Potter animals are a little twee for my taste.

Some might think Emmy was twee, but she'll do for me. Makes a wonderful change from the endless, stultifyingly boring muzak we get rammed down our throats (or do I mean ears? LOL!) most of the time - if I never hear Beyonce, Rhianna, James Blunt or their multitudinous clones again it'll be way too soon.

Mind you, give a listen to One EskimO's 'Candi' - great late-night driving music. (IMHO, of course).
