One big difference between growing a scene today and twenty years ago is
that today we have the internet. We have a way to link to others (you
all) who are interested in this kind of music and working in their home
towns on growing the scene -- locally and nationally. Twenty years ago I
had to go to Skip Groff's indie store in Rockville to hear the new punk
45s -- now all I have to do is dial of twangcast.com -- or go to miles
of music or village on the internet and order a couple of cds. And the
very knowledgeable radio jocks on this list are doing their part -- both
at home where they can proselytize for their weekly one or two or three
hours-- as well as right here on this list.
OK i'll stop now. But everyone think of what we're doing here -- I think
it's very very exciting! (pant pant) gotta go calm down now. walk the
dogs or something....
