Andrew,
Thanks for this link! I just recommended Don's work a few days ago to a
radio programmer in Ann Arbor who occasionally plays Western styled
classical music on his "Down Home Show," a very expansive country music
program. This provides a bit more meat to go with that argument.
Of course, I had played Don's music at least a couple of times on my own
Ann Arbor-based radio show when I had it.
best,
Uncle Dave Lewis
