Ah yes!! Loved there music. Just so laid back and i am sure oldude that the folks you heard (probably young) have been doing some digging and appreciated a good sound when they found them.
pdq, you mention "Western Music" and not "Country and Western". Was that on purpose? Maybe I shouldn't even bring this up as it may end up in curses back and forth like what is "Folk Music".

So in a very good way, are you separating the two? I've often wondered what is the difference if there is one.
