I don't know WAV. Country derives from bluegrass, which derives from the balladry of English and Irish music originally, so I guess that simply won't do. Rock derives from blues and country, the blues part of that derives from African music, so I guess that simply won't do either. Wait, jazz-no, that comes from a similar source to blues. Cajun, no that derives from Acadia, so thats out. I've got it! The only musical form us Americans, (and this goes for my Canadian friends as well!) can properly play is Native American music. Oh, but wait a sec. I'm not native american. My ancestry comes from Ireland. Oh crap! I can't play music here because following what WAV said , " many reading this will know as well or better than I the perform-your-own policies of 50s and 60s folk-clubs here" then ANY attempt at my singing anything will be tantamount to neglection of the one, truest form of American indigenous music, that being Native American. So WAV, thanks for clearing that up.
