Quote: "It's amazing the regard some toothless one, strumming a one stringed instrument (home made of course) can get........simply because........." That just about sums it up for me, the view of the 'old guard' (to put it kindly). If you don't think that music from places other than the UK is interesting, then that's up to you. But I find it somewhat ignorant to classify it so crudely, and contemptuously. The equivalent of finger-in-your-ear-and-Aran-sweater-and-pewter-beer-mug, no? For the record, Juldeh Camara (on the ritti, a one-stringed fiddle) and guitarist Justin Adams simply rock. You don't like? Your loss.
