my point was not to imply that music not created with electronic equipment is boring or substandard. i love traditional instruments and make use of them more than i do electronic equipment. in my OPINION, most (not all) of the acts that played at the festival were rather tame. that's not to say they were bad, but i personally look for more inventiveness and experimentation in the music i listen to. if you like the tried and true, that's your deal. i think it's great that the music festival exists in keene and i am personally friends with the creator and organizer of the event. i hope in the future it will continue and that more of the non-mainstream musicians (i know they exist here) will start coming out of the woodwork to play there. so i wouldn't waste too much of your time being pissed because i enjoy more musical variation than the rather sheltered area of keene has to offer. i will check out your stuff as well. --- jim and mell <jimandmell@webryders.net> wrote: > so........ > > I played at the Keene Music Festival and performed > my regular acoustic folk > set.
