Thanks, Weelittle. I'm finding this an interesting way to get to know what other people have in their collections. I notice that many of the albums picked at random by folks in the British Isles are musicians I've never heard of, and so far all seem to be current folk singers. I doubt that anyone from Britian would accidently pull out a CD by Darby & Tarlton. Or A.L. Lloyd (or even Lonnie Donegan?)

I'm getting ready to go to church, but I'll pull out a CD this afternoon. There's a real good discussion going on a blues and jazz site where I started the same discussion. Jazz tastes doesn't seem to be as different in other countries as folk music is.
