BTW, I know full well what "MOR" means. But since when are songs from musical theatre or the pop or rock or jazz world, by definition, more "middle-of-the-road" than "traditional" or "folk" music?

FWIW, I hear the Gershwins' (and DuBose Heyward's) song "Summertime" done all the time in both folk and jazz music gatherings. That song is from a friggin' OPERA, fer cryin' out loud.

Damned pigeonholes!
