That's fine if you want to go digging, olddude, and I agree with much of what you say; I enjoy finding the odd gems myself. But some people don't. What about those who can't, or don't want to, see past the rough stone. Shallow? Yes, maybe so, But lots of people are. Lots of people do not want their enjoyment to be hard work and if they come out to have a night of enjoyable, if rather trite, music then why should they have to put up with old Joes reed cutting song?
