I agree with both of you (M.Ted and Janie). It still boggles my mind how abruptly the predominant musical style changes though as you travel from the Appalachians to the Mississippi river. It is not subtle at all. You can hear some traces of a musical change if you hit the right crowd of musicians but for the most part it is a very dynamic change. Here in Kentucky I guess that is to be expected if you view the overall behavior, beliefs, and speech patterns of the people. It is very diverse so I guess the music would reflect that. You 2 have spurred thought with me thanks.
