You are right on all counts, M'Gurk.Well, good luck in Corpus, too: I'd feel sorry for you, except you're close enough for a weekend jaunt to Houston, where there is some folk/blues/jazz/whatever. I'm in Amarillo, where we have both kinds of music: Country and Western. Have, after almost 20 years, located two people who will play folk music with me without trying to talk me into forming a C&W band.
I have to drive to Dallas or OKC for a decent jam session. (Well, okay, once a year there's a good one in Pampa.) Sigh...
