In the 60's every wannabe musician said they played the
the Blues. Now its Irtrad or perhaps for those
who haven't the marbles to associate with Bogirish
who say they play Scottish music; though I must
say, cant hardly tell the difference since the
Dubliners and the Cheetans did thier
thing.

There are those who try hard to learn about real traditional songs and music from the British Isles and America. There are even newsgrops where it is discussed by experts. Waste time on your triva? Good Lord No!
