" you really ought to give doo-wop and blues a try"
Sure, Ron...*grin*... y'all oughta know my soul ain't in it. (I'll wait until I have a good excuse to take my clothes OFF, then!) I can listen to good blues, but can't play it, and all this eclecticism is highly over-rated! Not enough time in life.
LEJ... yeah, I know you do 'other stuff'. Heard you do some, and Amos & others did too. Hard to cram everything into 2 days & 3 nights.
I've been lucky because I REALLY like some of the long ballads & Scots songs and such, and there have always been folks at the Getaway for 30+ years who did some of those.
(Now why did I have to lose that nice "Purist Snob" T-shirt?!)
