I do wish there were rules and that Max (whose site this is) would delete all threads, contributions and discussions that weren't about FOLK MUSIC. This would not include ANY pop music, modern country music after 1940, all navel-gazing singer songwriter's touchy-feely songs, all songs more properly termed "self help", all classical and jazz etc. etc. etc. Drums would be banned. Electric instruments played with strident intent that could be seen as obscuring the lyric would be banned.

Max does not see things the way I do. That's O.K. So I just put my two cents in here to state my personal wishes. But if this was my site, things would be different.

All that said, I'll put up with things as they are 'cause it's the best of all possible worlds. And I AM truly happy to be here. Max, thank you. You, sir, and the site you've built, are something else !!
