What a touchy reaction Bee! Your assumption that I don't understand tradition and how musical forms develop is a broad brushstroke if ever there was one. How do you know you're one of my elders?! I'm currently working on a TV documentary about Son House and Charley Patton, btw, and I think the Agnostics have far more in common with the gritty attack of those old boys than the overly polite, cleaned-up, highly technical stuff I often see championed here. The 'remedial work' Charley Noble suggests is probably just the kind thing I'm talking about, though I musn't prejudge. They are very fine players, so what needs to be remedied Charley?
