Dr. Funk Started conversation Mar 27, 2001
To the greater community, in case it matters:
I am in a band with four core musicians and a host of guests. We play, among us, fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass, harmonica, and drums. For a really long time, we thought we played a groovy version of Appalachian stringband music, dance music from the 1860s. Comments from the crowd have led us to think otherwise:
"I keep trying to describe you guys to people. Sort of visceral rockabilly funk or something."
"That doesn't *sound* like Irish music."
"I've never heard old-time played quite like that."
"You guys are really just a jam band, aren't you."
Come and hear us play sometime, if you're in New York City and have nothing better to do.
