Ha! Ha! What a card. (This quote is only incidental to the topic of my screed. I'm after bigger fish to shoot.) You go Cheryl. It's not the ignorance here that really steams me, but the haughty dismissals, the refusal to do even the most basic research into the subject matter. The McCoury statement needs no further comment, but to mislabel/trash my man John Starling -- that really gets my hackles up. This over the wall since I'm unsubbing for a few days for various reasons, but I'd sure like to read your screed when I get back.

Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
Okay, so, I'm doing a bit of research is support of a screed I'm a-screeding. Five (5! Count 'em!) minutes into it, I found myself reading, over on Addicted to Noise, a review of Trio II by one Kevin John. I quote, with elipses: "Eroding Trio II's impact potential even further is the fact that it features a less stellar collection of songwriters than its predecessor. The names here are Neil Young, favorite standby the Carter Family and Randy Newman... blah blah blah blah After that, you get Kieran Kane and Jamie O'Hara (of the O'Kanes, remember them?), producer John Starling, 'one of today's most respected bluegrass performers' Del McCoury (who?) and some other folks whose names I'll forget the millisecond I stop typing them."
