Glad you liked it! Stan Rogers did a bunch of really great songs. I always liked “Witch of Westmoreland” and “White Collar Holler”. Another of the very sad boat wreck songs is Roger’s Jeannie C. I always viewed it as about a man losing his core identity.

There are some Browne Sisters (with George Cavanaugh) songs on youtube, but the sound is pretty bad. They are a Scots music group out of California and mostly perform at various Scottish Games across the US.)

You bring up an interesting point on the Koreans. Truth be told, I wonder if this is a major weakness on the part of Japan. Even if part of it is due to living in the shadow of the huge Han civilization.

It seems to me that a lot of countries define themselves as being born in a certain place, speaking a certain language and holding a certain set of beliefs. I do not think that this definition is holding up well in the current interconnectedness of the world. Certainly a lot of countries in Europe are currently dealing with this issue. What does it mean to be French? Or German? Or Hungarian? Or English?

I do not think that it is possible to roll the world back to 1800, despite the efforts of the current US administration and other reactionary groups across the world.

After we ship the Trump administration assholes off in disgrace, it will not be possible to roll the world back to 2016.
