There's a lot of that that goes around, Joe. I play a fair amount of
American Old-Time music and when I was jamming in English pubs with
the English who played old-time I was amazed at how they chose such
old chestnuts that no Old-time player in this country would touch
with a barge pole. In Irish restaurants and bars back in the
eighties they liked to play American country-western from which most
players in this country would run away screaming. It made me wonder
what Irish folks would make of American Celtic band's repetory.
I think we forget how cool our own native musical genres are because
we grew up with them.
Cheers,
