Janie - I think the simple answer is that, if you have a particular topic of personal musical interest you want to air here, then go ahead and air it. I'm a huge fan of jug band music (Gus Cannon, Mississippi Sheiks, Memphis Jug Band), for example, and have a fairly large collection of vinyl in that area. Love the stuff. The same goes for string bands, and I used to haunt the big London record shops in the 70s, looking out for American imports of early string band and blues music. I also have most of the recorded output of Rosetta Tharpe - saw her over here in the 60s - and did she swing! Saw Gary Davis live in Manchester around the same time - a fantastic experience.

So - like-minded souls are out here - you just have to pull the right strings! :-)
