Because I know a lot about music and I like helping people. I didn't come here because I was a folkie. I never was and never will be a folkie. I am a person who loves all kinds of music. Folk just happens to be one of them. I don't care much for modern folk (!) or American stuff. I like Celtic (dare I use the term?) music, whether it be traditional or modern compositions. I DO NOT let any one style of music eclipse the others.

I don't care about all this malarkey about only good music is folk or has folk roots. If it sounds good to me, I like it. I don't give a dingo's kidney if it's commercialized or corporate or whatever. I, unlike most folkies, do not have this obsession with money, that any one who makes money from music they play are evil, and aren't we so great poor people singing our folk music that no one likes and we're so great cuz all we care about it the music and not the money? Please, spare me. To quote Doyle, "I play the game, for the game's own sake."

I like music, period. That's why I'm here. And Clint, in my condition, bran is the LAST thing I need.
