Anglo, I don't think anyone was suggesting that Old Songs turn into Philly, and just because we said it was "slow" or "low energy" does not mean we were giving the night a negative mark. Since when does "slow" mean "bad"?

If anything, perhaps the lineup could have been re-arranged a bit. I think the booking this year was outstanding, just maybe it could have been shuffled a bit differently. Then again, maybe not!

I am also highly insulted that you would assume those of us who attended do not support "traditional" music. Shame on you!!

Old Songs is a treasure, and for me it has turned into an annual "booster" shot that reminds me of all the good aspects of folk music AND even more importantly, the community that surrounds it.

P.S. - Margaret MacArthur is a NATIONAL treasure and I hope the folks in Vermont realize how lucky they are to have her!
