Yeah and I think some of them miss the point on BGRASS-L, its not what
is the music but how you enjoy the music.
I think any kind of music you have die in the wool fans of such music,
jazz, bluegrass, folk, ect and (they) will say what is and what isn't.
If a banjo isn't in the mix, alot would say that is not bluegrass.
With Steve Earle brings a whole new audience to bluegrass and anything
that broadens and helps the artist in bluegrass is a plus. Not to say one
person is on his or her so called album or CD.
If it sounds good to you then enjoy it the way you like and let the so called
(experts) in the field of music have there say. There is alot of music I don't
particulary care for but that does not give me the right to put down that
form of music.
I think anyone that puts it heart and soul into what there doing is key to
any thing done right. Music, work, hobbies, ect.
In music I think you really can tell what is real amd what is not.
To many damm people say what is this type and that, the hell with them
and enjoy what you like and maybe you can pass some of the type of
or artist along.
Hell I think that's what P2 is all about. Different music from all kinds
of different people.
I'm glad I got that off my chest.
