Phil, You are correct and I'm sure that's true. Chirps loves it all. I was just pointing out that, these days, it's mostly instrumental dance music that's wanted for the dances they play more often than not. In concertizing times, festivals and rows of chairs with people sitting down to listen raptly like at a storytelling venue, word people had more opportunities on the so-called folk circuit to have their artifacts appreciated.

Best to Margaret & Kate. All my e-mails to K. have been coming back.
