No apology is owed. The gentleman from England ought to know better since hundreds have died over what is in a name. He ought to have remembered the terrorists bombing his country. Flag waving is a dangerous thing. --- I have been trying to unsubscribe from this list for ages now since it is a trainwreck of geneology. It would be nice to engage in a discussion once in a while about bluegrass music and its origins instead of how certain individuals are related to each other. If others are offended that there might be a differing view, then that cannot be helped. I was merely voicing my opinion, even though I realize that no one has the right to be offended. I felt that there were innacuracies in the gentleman's posting. --- For one example of Irish influence: "Legend of the Rebel Soldier" performed by the Country Gentleman on Time Life's Treasury of Bluegrass 2 disc CD is the same song as what the Irish call "Kevin Barry". Same music, different lyrics. ---!
Anyway, take me off of this list.

Good for you and I am quite aware of the naming. But I think that you too easily took offense were there were none. As someone said, I think that you owe Mr. Holman an apology.
