I was surprised at the negative tone of this thread. If we are speaking of Sara Grey & her son Kieron Means, I find their performances delightful, including their foot action. Since there are "footstompin' Scottish music" websites, I assume this can be considered a valid accompaniment to the music they perform. Liking it or not is a matter of personal taste. I remember leaving one folk concert at the intermission, even though the booker was a close friend. I just hated the music; that's fine. Thanks to Vic Smith for his positive posts to this thread. I remember seeing performers at the Greater New Bedford Summerfest, last July, who kept time with their feet & their performances were enhanced by it. To my mind, there's room in folk music for many expressions. Take what pleases you & leave the rest.

Respectfully,

Barbara
