Wesley- I appreciate your humor, and agree with you in part. But this has all been covered on the "conservative folk song" thread. I don't think I got that title right. I tend toward liberalism in most things, and am fiercely liberal in others. Yet I have flaming conservative friends who are damn fine musicians, we can get together and play my songs or their songs, it doesn't really matter. Politics is politics, and music is music, mostly I don't think you should take it all too personally. I would have no problem playing "Okie from Muskogee" or "Ballad of the Green Berets" as long as I had someone good to play it with. It really shouldn't be any different than playing "Moon River". (How about that as a double-time Dobro piece)?
