Hi there, Jessica ~~ glad you found us here at Mudcat! It is a good place for all things music. I enjoyed hearing you and your family at Batesville the other day. (and am still enjoying the music via cassette ~~ it is right beside me on the desk as I type this) I hope to see you again sometime. I talked briefly with your Dad about the Ozark Folk Center. I am going to Silver Dollar City tomorrow and Friday to see the musician friends I mentioned who were formerly from the Mountain Grove area.
About the question ~~ sorry I'm no help. I don't know if I agree with Áine or not. Although I have to say, when I first saw your sign posted, I thought it was going to be songs of the sea or something like that! I'll have to think about it.
