Old School

We were the opening act on the acoustic stage at the stone arch festival on June 16th. Following us was Jonathan Delahanty, a young singer song-writer that I first met at Java Jack's at 'the Hoot'. At some point he refered to us as doing 'old shool' music. I didn't think much of it as the time, since we are 'old time' musicians. However, this week I saw an Onion headline/article referencing "Old School", the movie (with Will Ferrell) and wondered if there was something more going on. I also looked up the movie on wikipedia and realized that it is one of the few that I have seen in recent years: probably on video with one or both of my sons. Like most old-time musicians I don't watch much TV (on stage, many claim not to own one*) and don't see a lot of movies (too busy playing music or going to hear it!). However, in San Francisco we went with Tommy to see Blades of Glory, another Will Ferrell pic; I thought it was a hoot (of course I don't get out much). Here are the links to the Onion article and Wikipedia (warning: adult language and situations -- and... the ending is given away)

* on stage at the Cedar: Abigail Washburn(Uncle Earl) and Martha Scanlan (formerly of Reeltime Travelers) both said that they do not own a TV. Our TV is in the basement and not watched much at all - according to what I've read it and all other 'analog' TV's will be obsolete in 2009.
