Barthomew on moving from the Folk scen to the Country scene:

I get the impression that the American Folk scene must be a little bit different from the English or Irish (or God help us, the Scottish) folk scene...

Art, if you want to come across as a strident bad guy, you'll have to be a lot nastier than that. In fact I'd call that previous post goodnatured. Marginally irascible, but esentially goodnatured - irascible in the context meaning "I could get annoyed if I chose to, but I don't choose to." It is bloody annoying too at times, seeing things messed around with by sharks.
