Hi, Johnny - what's TMSA?

We have had a number of young men come here to Mudcat who have posted links to their YouTube recordings. They have asked us for opinions of their work, and most of us have tried to be nice in our responses, or we have been silent. But to tell the truth, I do not like the music that young, male, folk musicians are making. It sounds more like Punk than folk to me. It has no connection to tradition. I hate to be unkind, but that is the truth of the matter.

On the other hand, I could listen to Emily Smith all day.
