Thread Name: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Subject: RE: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Hmmmmm interesting guys.
So, if I read the above correctly, you are saying:
1 - Old Time Music is the Pure Drop, while Old Timey is music that may sound very Old Time, but which has a more modern spin on it, with perhaps a twist of some other musical form in there?
2 - It is in fact the original name for this music.
3 - You think it might be the term used for the Songs related to Old Time Music.
Looks like I'm not the only one who is a little in the dark, regarding this musical term. :-)
Thanks Nick, for the additional question surrounding this term, namely, should it be:
Old-Time? or Old Time? or Oldtime?
Lucky old Bluegrassers eh, at least they know exactly what to call their music. ;-)
