Thanks everybody.

I play guitar and sing, strictly as an amateur though. I also play all kinds of flutes, including the fife. My name is Barney and that's why I'm Barney the Fifer. My cousin is a drummer and sometimes we get together and play fife and drum music in the old Mississippi tradition.

My parents took me to folk festivals like Newport and Philadelphia in the sixties. That formed my appreciation for folk music of all kinds that has lasted into middle age.

When I said pop culture, at least musicwise, I meant the pop culture of my youth. That means the predisco era. I love TV.

That's about it.
