This is why we still love music festivals and there are several that we attend most years.  We still try to catch Tom Paxtom when he performs locally, but he doesn't do that much anymore.  We still like to hear from Gordon Bok he was a great story music creator as was the late Stan Rogers.  All three of these wrote things you would recognize when performed by others.  There are some new ones coming along, but they have a tougher path these days because the world does not seem to like to listen any more.

I heard that intros to songs are shorter these days as youngsters switch off if the singing doesn't start quickly. Not sure I'm really believing it but you never know...

Yeah, and Queen and Prince too. ;D

lol.
