Gee, cp, that old feminine ass-kicking side of you is the one I have always admired. I think George should be admired for having revealed to us all that sweeter you. George, you also raise a meatier point: I tend to go personally for total coverage of material, because I want to know the history and background -- the academic in me coming out. So I personally find the original and authentic the most interesting to listen to. But what would get people hooked is also worthwhile considering: still, I would worry if the Lord of the Dance album was the Top 100 choice for Celtic.
On to business: my next choice -- Pete Seeger, American Industrial Ballads.
