Well, it was part of the premise - that lousy performances/performers are
especially destructive to the "roots music movement."
Lousy music is a drag, but since when has sucky music stopped talented
musicians from making great music?

The thread started out from Mr. Anonymous's point that sucky music is
hurting "the roots music movement," which would probably g include some of
the stuff Greg's listed. Think for a minute about how different kinds of
music get exposure.
Laura Cantrell, who's show "Radio Thriftshop" on WFMU is totally happening,
is very twang friendly and quite a fine twanger herself.

I guess I'll stick with my little homespun Vermont Beef Farm label where my
