I notice there are a number of people posting clips to the list and that has caused me to sort of have a hard look at what I have been doing in that regard. I say that because if 'we' all post clips together than there is a chance of overwhelming the list with traffic that just gets 600 plus delete buttons working. I am going to post clips once a week from now on and that will be on Sunday PM as late as I can so they can be printed or saved and then read at leisure without taking the 'prime time' list hours (I may switch to Saturday, if that is a less busy time on the list). I would also encourage anybody on the list to contact me directly if you would like to see something posted or if you have a personal request - I'll try my best. I am also going to narrow my scope a bit to focus more on clips that relate more directly to themes and discussions that have been taking place on the list, freeing up room for the other 'clippers' for the more readily available articles of interest. A couple of unrelated points. I notice that talk of TwangFest is starting up again and as much as I'd love to make it, for the 3rd year in a row it is the same week that I am in Knoxville and that leaves me out again - although I was there briefly for the first one - left a note, don't ya know. Based on what I have read here, I am really looking forward to the new ones by Olney, Russell, Skaggs, Blue Highway, J.D. Crowe, Longview, Midnight Storm and although not mentioned here, Mr. Young. One last note - I joined the list to learn about alternative country and that has lead me straight to bluegrass - you go figure. Take care, Cecil's Cousin PS - that story I promised you about Cecil and me and alternative country could arrive at any time, then again .....
