I'm not a musical scholar. I'm not an artist. Hell I don't even call myself a musician. I'm a guy who derives enormous pleasure from playing my guitar and howling with my buddies (preferably over a few beers). Folk music, r&r, folk rock, electric, acoustic, oral, traditional, marginal, trivial - it's all great music. My main criteria is that it have melody and rhythm that I can manage. This thread reminds me of our Great Canadian landuage debate. (With apologies to Luba Goy) I don't care whether you're an anglophone, francophone, allophone or a telephone - music is life. Laissez le bon temps rouler.
