Thread Name: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Subject: RE: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Old Time and Old Timey, Old Timey is a type of sound to me, not necessarily old. Gillian Welch has an Old Timey sound at times.

The first time I heard this term was 35 years ago on a radio show where Grandpa Jones was defining his music as opposed to Bluegrass. Then I read in on the cover of a Bradley Kincaid Song Book from the 30's.

Now what does TWEE mean?
