also off topic more music Re: [Rhodes22-list] Brad's birthday.

I'll be in touch as the date gets closer. I don't think 
I'll bring many of my commie pinko friends. Most (with a 
few exceptions) of them are far too earnest to carry on a 
decent debate. Fortunately there's a lot more under the 
umbrella of folk than earnest singer songwriters. A fair 
amount of the blues, old-time country music, celtic music, 
world music, some latin music and bluegrass will all be 
represented.
