Matt,In my opinion there is nothing wrong with being able to hear the music of people who are dead,or who no longer play[Nic Jones].
It reminds us of their music ,and brings their music to the attention of new people.
as far as I know no one criticised Jeanette Carter[AP and Saras daughter]for setting up a venue for people to listen to Carter Family music in their valley.she regarded it as a shrine to her parents,
I cant see any difference,I see it as away of honouring Ewan and Bert,the Carter Family,Roscoe Holcomb, Frank Profitt,Clarence Ashley,Paul Robeson and hopefully introducing their music to others.
