Ah, I feel SO much better now.....
Thanks for the clarification Ralphie...think your comments are right on.

As one who broadened my palate listening and bootlegging cassettes of 'Folk on Friday' many moons ago...so as to get a repertoire, I appreciate all that the broadcast media does in the name of that broad church of 'folk'....it could always do more...
That doesn't stop me from believing that there are some mean spirited souls out there who are just plain irritable and need to get a life...go climb a mountain.....good for your soul.
