Ok, so I'm not *so* little - 19 - but I loved this thread because I'm glad that you guys are interested in us! My dad had me listening to folk when I was quite small and I loved it then, and knew all the words. Of course, I hit adolescence and disowned everything but the latest fad, but that didn't last long, thank God. Now I'm back to listening to the craziest mix of music - from Nanci Griffith and the Chieftains to Blink 182 and Pearl Jam. I went to a Great Big Sea show about two weeks ago, and I knew just about all the words and had an amazing time. You will all be glad to hear that at that show, standing behind us, was a group of early college-age guys in full "college guy" attire, yelling requests for songs like "Old Black Rum" and "The Jolly Butcher," and singing right along. In specific response to a previous post, I personally like Dave Matthews Band et al. and that sort of music *because* I like acoustic guitar-ish music, not the other way around. I think the music I grew up with has given me this amazing background, which helps me evaluate music on a more global and historical scale. So don't worry - we're here! Just keep playing fiddle and banjo and bodhran in our ear, and we'll catch on eventually. :-) little kc
