Subject: RE: Folklore: Music of the NJ Pine Barrens
Just a gut wrenching response. If Music of the NJ Pine Barrens is what is now being performed, I don't see where large Bluegrass groups, and fringe clothed country bands fit. Back in the 70's' I went to Albert Hall for the first time and was tickled by the Pineconers, especially Sammy Hunt. Played solo and with a 3 piece group through the 80' and 90's. But now the Hall is run by people who moved here from other parts and changed the Hall to suit their needs. It used to be a real thrill to see the faces of people who would come to the Hall for what was probably the paramount of their week. Wonder if the Albert brothers would recognize what their idea has become!
