I find myself confused !

Your intro to Mudcat was in support of a musician/singer who as I see it (I remember who it was) performs in a modern style with modern electrified instruments- fine if that's what cranks your handle.

You said in this thread that the Big Ballads were the music that should be presented to the 'proletariat' - again fine if it cranks your handle.

But I dont understand what it is you are really a fan of. I know you play a fiddle but the above two styles seem to me to be contradictory.
