Subject: RE: acoustic versus electric !!!???
So you missed all that about the musician and singer of folk songs that I was talking about, eh?

About a person who dug into folk music with a passion, learned immense amounts about it, and learned a staggering number of songs, which he sang tastefully and entertainingly, often sparking the interest and enthusiasm of many others to do the same? And obviously found a great deal of joy and fulfillment in learning them and singing them. And he did this for years and years, singing for and with hundreds of people?

And he did it using his intelligence, his voice, and his plain, inexpensive acoustic guitar.

You missed all that, right? Or did you even read it?

I thought this was a folk music site. But I seem to have wandered into the Land of the Philistines.

P. S. "Electric guitars get you laid." Ah!! The crux of the matter. You need it as a prosthetic! Sorrowful, Pop-gun, really sorrowful!
