- Hmm. Maybe this should be cross-posted to
- rec.music.folk/alternative/christian/music-makers. This weird subgroup
- of musicians is almost its own genre of music, with the only real
- connection being that they're somehow affiliated with T-Bone, while they
- sort of cross between those other classifications.
-
- Also eligible to be listed with the above: Bob Neuwirth, Steven Soles,
- David Mansfield, Alpha Band, The Call, Van Dyke Parks, Marc Ribot, Elvis
- Costello, Bruce Cockburn, (to some degree:) Bono of U2...
-
- There's got to be a better name for the newsgroup though -- while this
- is a pretty tightly-knit sort of musical mafia, to the uninitiated, the
- word "mafia" is an inevitable throw-off. Maybe something like:
-
- alt.music.Tbone.et.al OR alt.music.TBBurnett.et.al ?
-
- *I'd* be looking forward to it!
