There is a humor gulf Breezy, but we are confident that you folks in the Old World will conquer it! :)

Just teasing!!


Meself - you make a good point. If you've seen Nathan perform, you quickly realize that he is a unique and extremely talented artist. His songwriting is strong and shows great promise. His use of the stompbox and throat singing is amazing to experience. He has created his own body of work, and the last thing you need is for an audience to show up expecting an evening of Stan Rogers songs.   If anything, Nathan is carrying on the work his father started. When I spoke with him, Nathan said he realized that there was "unfinished business" with his father's untimely death. By not milking the parental spotlight, he is allowing himself to create his own art. Look at Arlo Guthrie - he certainly honors his father but he is unique.

I can think of a number of talented offspring who take a similar route. Jen Chapin, Bethany Yarrow and Sarah Lee Guthrie are three that immediately pop into my mind - each has a unique style that differes from their famous parents, but each carrys on a tradition.
