Our ongoing series, I’m Going Back To Old Kentucky by Richard Thompson, has generated more reader comment than any feature we have yet run on The Bluegrass Blog. Most of what we hear is quite favorable, but a few folks have felt the need to let us know that they don’t like it… no sir, not one bit.
A number of recognizable bluegrass personages have commented in private, again mostly about how much they enjoy Richard’s A Day In The Life coverage of Bill Monroe’s career, though at least one has found it tiresome.
We heard this morning from a reader who has reacted quite colorfully to the Monroe series…
“Geesh, I am soooo tired of hearing the constant Bill Monroe daily update info. I don’t care where he crapped or who played with him once in a one room school house in West Virginia. Actually, I seldom check out your site nowadays, since it’s the same old same old every day.
News at the speed of bluegrass?? No, more like Bluegrass Blog: solidly stuck in the past!”
When I emailed back to the effect that most of our regular readers find the scroll bar helpful in skipping past content that doesn’t appeal them – and directed him to its location – he responded with an unprintable assessment of my character.
What has our world come to when a bluegrass web site gets flack for posting about Bill Monroe during his centennial?
Oh well… I guess it takes all kinds.
These rare exceptions to the contrary, we are always eager to get feedback from our readers, and appreciate your comments.
