Obviously I wasn't here in the old days.

Really, even though I like to mix it up and stir up the pot in the BS section, my first love and what I was drawn to here was a way to share my music experience.

I started out in the folk boom and migrated to all facets of country and bluegrass many years ago. I am very well read on traditional country music and am somewhat of a historian on it. My perception is that traditional country music and American folk music are much the same.

However, there is not much happening here on this. Quite frankly, American folk music here seems to take a big back seat to the whole British singer/songwriter faux artist thing. I usually want nothing to do with this area.
