My feelings exactly, Hoot. I've no love for anything from Nashville, on the whole, but songs from the days of the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers (the early one), the Delmore Brothers, etc., are fine with me. I don't know much about John Prine's songs, but he has a good reputation with several folk musicians I'm acquainted with.

I love Western Swing - Bob Wills, etc. - but I wouldn't expect to hear it, or play it myself, at a folk club. Doc Watson, on the other hand, is OK with me - any time.
