Nor me, as it happens, unless Iris is singing with John Prine, which oddly enough works well. I hope I didn't sound patronising, I didn't intend to be. On the other hand, I like Stan Rogers' songs, but much prefer them done by other people, as his voice really irritates me and his guitar playing is clumsy. I was making just that point; it's really hard to generalise about genres, due to variations in quality, personal preferences, intermingling of traditions and the fact that none of us have heard all of any genre (although I know bluegrass purists who would claim they have, since they've heard everything Bill Monroe ever recorded!).
