Again, I tend to agree wot Martin on this, Art. I have heard almost no criticism of folk music "purists" since I have been coming here but an inordinate amount of criticism of the "commercial" groups.

I used the term purely as a reference, not as a term of denigration. I personally enjoy all types of folk music, whether it be solo,historical,singersongwriter, gospel, blues, whatever. But I still enjoy the sweet tight harmonies of these "commercial"groups also.

If you are referring to me as someone who has badmouthed the folks from these camps, I did not intend it to be such. SOrry if that is the case.
