The word "orange" is not an orange. This needs to be remembered occasionally. Thankyou Greg. Mind you - when I go to a Boat Band gig (or Bayou Seco for that matter) I know I can expect Polkas, Waltzes, Cajun onestep, twostep, Mamou, and I am sure if we asked we would get maybe bourees and mazurkas. Now which label should we hang for that?

But having said that - if I didn't know the Boat Band - I would like a "label" to hang on the music. The expectation is part of the entertainment. I may have danced French all last night and want a change. Those labels have to be close enough to fullfill the expectations. If for no other reason than I pack leather soled shoes for French and trainers for EC and Cajun. If you are a musician going to a session, similar expectations apply to instruments. I am sure concert-goers have similar expectations even if they are less physical.
