Thanks, Rick, for posting and describing your findings "from the field." In an earlier post about the merits of other music (I think), there was an overall dismissing of music that wasn't folk/blues/traditional/whatever. My musical tastes are not rigidly delineated and my comment was that it's all valid, it's all art. Glad to see that someone who's closer to the scene here at the Mudcat is (kinda) acting as an ambassador. Though, from the number of responses, it may be preaching to the converted.
