Cranky, your point is well taken. However, your microscopic examination slid over the most important phrase, WELL REGULATED... The only thing that comes close to the original militia is the National Guard. Anyway, I am not a gun nut. My manhood is not wrapped up in weapons of war. I do own a hand gun, and, it would take a SWAT team to get it away from me as long as I live in a country where violence is rampant. If I could wave a magic wand to make all hand guns disappear, I would do it in a heart beat.So, I have also found that Bluegrass audiences like folk music. I have performed at many of them, and they seem to appreciate the break from hard driving, all sound alike, one band after another formats.
I dont expect to get down your way in the near future, but, I would also like to meet you.
