Sigh!
In an earlier article, I said that Rounder Records (though dealing
almost exclusively in Bluegrass and Blues) was a good place to look for
rock's roots "as any modern music scholar knows".
I meant (modern music) scholar, not modern (music scholar), as Jeff
Winslow thought when he said (of me) "My, aren't the pop music freaks
getting pretentious". Yes, Jeff, the classics are timeless; but I am
not a "pop music freak", and I am also not a modern (music scholar).
I am a (modern music) scholar (modern music in this case referring to
jazz, blues, bluegrass, and rock...perhaps modern american popular music
would be more accurate).
Personal note to Jeff: I tried mailing an apology to you 5 times for
my rabid attack (it was a lousy day); it invariably returned
with the message "Unable to deliver mail", so here it is for
the world to see.
I'm sorry for my rabid attack, Jeff.
Seriously and sincerely,
Eddie Stokes (!duke!mcnc!ebs)
