Thread Name: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Subject: RE: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Hi Dick
Personally I'd use Oldtime... but am never sure about using it as two words, with or without a hyphen or with a capital T.
Many years ago I heard Jeff Warner and Jeff Davi(e)s doing a duo performance at Towesey festival and one of them suggested that they considered the 'Timey' description related to songs and not necessarily the mountain music repertoire. I can't remember their exact description but that is the gist of it.
