Sure, you can have too much of a good thing, so that you need to try something else to get your taste back in tune so to speak.

But that doesn't mean that the good thing is any the worse because you've pigged out on it. The fault isn't inthe music, it's in the listener.

This is different from the situation which often happens in folk music where you'll come across a new style or artist and it excites you because you recognise there's something about it you haven't found before.

And then you go on and find that it's a diluted or diminished form of something you can find pure and unspoiled elsewhere.

There's junk music, like junk food. And if you've never had real minestrone, the tinned variety might turn you towards trying it out. (Or equally it might put you off.) But the Chieftains were never junk musicians (even when they've made the occasional junky recording to raise a bob or two).

As for DADGAD, if I can be sure that the rush and the fashion is over, I might have another go. Someone give us a sensible minimal DADGADF site, would you.
