Thread Name: 50 Year Rule - traditional rooms at Folk Alliance
Subject: RE: 50 Year Rule - traditional rooms at Folk Allia
Here (AGAIN) is what Andy says about what he does, 'Spaw:

"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."

That's it--a definition of *his* interests with some loose lines drawn in space and time, descriptive, not proscriptive--that's it, and that's what you get when he does a workshop, whether it is in a "Traditional Room" at the Folk Alliance, or in Mary and Frank Folkmeister's living room.

The fact is that he is interested in stuff from 50 years ago back to about 90 years ago, but that is a rule-of-thumb rather than any sort of rule.


What problem do you have with that?
