What a wonderful and insightful statement about the world and why we make music in the first place.Mr. Winslow Yerxa has given me another reason to visit Quebec and check out this music he spoke of. 
As to the previous discussion about early country music, listen to the Delmore Brothers (great harp) and Jimmy Rogers "The Singing Brakemen" they sound like Blues to me.
