by any chance do you have a domain of some sort online or a way i could hear your music? just curious.

blackbird raum specifically, i love their style.

i camped out with a bunch of kids from chicago in drayton ND for the beet harvest for a few days at one point. there was this badass lill "talent show" one night. we all got drunker then fuck, and everybody jammed the fuck out with like acoustic guitars, and banjos, and kuzoo's (sp?)... and harmonicas...and you know shit like that. people were singing and acting and doin peotry. shit was beautiful. it was at some point in the night i remember we all had this like visible unity going on. unspoken bonds. something of a culture. i tend to call this shit traveling music, because of so many traveling kids and folk i see. but i would really like to see a legit list of somewhat or all the ways correct genre terms. kinda to organize the shit im hearing into sorts and types.

its not hard to tell theres definitely styles of ragtime, folk music... etc.

especially this homeless vagabond freight train hoppin music....

at bryanpaul, u said

"jugband folkcore buskgrass
folkgrass jugcore gypsy punk
punkgrass gypsy folk
buskcore dubgrass thrashfolk"

im assuming these are like legit genre labels?

its called music.

i have synesthesia. and part of that is i see my music. and i like to categorize the shit i see. each genre has different shapes. its complicated.

good music is good music tho i agree.

not really...theres a couple songs i recorded a few years ago for the hell of it myspace.com/aroundthenextcorner but theyre not the folk punk style you're lookin for, more easy on the ears. i don't really have any recordings of any of my get-drunk-and-ride-junk type songs but i LOVE blackbird raum. I got to see them live finally at a music fest in Alaska a summer ago, was amaaaaaazing good times :)
