Gee, Rick, you sure know how to make believers out of us.

There is so much good traditional music coming available on CD, and it sounds so good. It's not only the Harry Smithg Anthology - Kernow John mentioned the Topic "Voice of the People" CD's, and there's all the great Lomax stuff coming out, and the Frank and Anne Warner CD's. Then there are the two-disc sets from Yazoo that Sandy speaks so highly of. Sandy speaks so highly of the Yazoo stuff, and he's right in praising them - but he seems to forget to mention his own Ballads and Songs of Tradition and Brave Boys.
I used to expect pops and scratches and hisses when I listened to old recordings - but modern remastering has done wonderful things.
