Thread Name: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Subject: RE: Old-Timey ... TWEE or what?
Old-timey is the adjective based on the other adjective "old-time" as in "old-time religion", but generally applied to music. One would not speak of "old-timey religion" -- it would evoke a picture of angels in a jugband. Not a bad way to pass eternity, I guess. With all eternity to jam, you wouldn't have to worry about the banjo player being off time.
