You know, Brian..

Given our past history I think most people will expect a battle on this one ..but...sorry to disappoint all of you..it's not gonna happen.

I think Brian and I are close on this..

Genre referring to a specific song is OK...
It's like.."which bin do I put this in ?"

that's a fair question and it's just like seperating meat from chicken at the butcher shop.

What I'm talking about is labeling an artist the same way...
It's limiting (again, my opinion) and holds the artist to a certain style.
Now, if the artist is comfortable with one type of expression..that's great..it's the artists choice..
But when other people start labeling the artists work as this genre or that genre..well..that's not so great.

My genre is "Bob", thank you...I'm most comfortable doing Bob..you can dance to it..you can sing along and you can share most of it with your kids.

When I mentioned those different kinds of music I do in my act, I wasn't thinking of them as "genres" but styles of music..
Maybe it's just semantics after all..we could be saying exactly the same thing..
I dunno...
I'm on medication..

By the way, Brian..
I came home with both feet and all 10 toes..
So..I can still dance !

Drive carefully..
