Subject: RE: 50 Year Rule - traditional rooms at Folk Alliance
Ted, I've had trouble for 12 yeaars here with the damn tags. I dunno' what works but the only thing I ever see as a result is a gawdamn argument! I wish it wasn't but for me, I no longer have a dog in the hunt. Good for Andy whatever he does. Why not say we'll be doing songs from 50-100 years old so don't bring any late model stuff. Why call it anything? Why call it trad? Even if you have the best intentions and are a great guy, when you tag it you just add to the cofusion and invite argument.

I'd love to go back to "Folk" but as Sandy Paton once told me, "They took that word away from us."..........and he was right of course.

I've not gotten involved in one of these threads for years and I am done with this one as well. Good luck to Andy as I meant no offense towards him. All the same..........
