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. ;-)

Cheers
Dick
