Banjoman--Since you don't seem to know anything about Andy Cohen, here is something from his website.

"What I do mostly any more, is a sort of Country Blues 101. It_s broader than that, of course, covering material from before the twenties to about the fifties, and ranging over the several states to which Memphis is adjacent. I grew up during the Sixties Revival in Massachusetts, but I_m a Southern boy at heart. I made a point of acquainting myself with all the blues players I could, on record and in person. In my shows, I do material by Rev. Davis, John Hurt, Big Bill, Gus Cannon, Frank Stokes, Memphis Minnie, Bukka White, Barbecue Bob, Charlie Patton, Ted Bogan, Henry Spaulding, or any of a hundred other blues people."

A lot of us know who he is, since he's been performing for 40 years or so--he is certainly well know to many associated with the Folk Alliance, and, if you, or others who were quick to express vociferous opinions had been inclined, you could have learned as
much as you needed to know about him by simply Googling. Assuming, of course that you needed to know anything before giving you opinions.

If I offended you with either my amusement/annoyance or my use of the word "pontificate"--I was in a hurry, and couldn't think of a better way to describe what you were doing.

I suppose I should apologize to His Holiness, as well.
