Snakefiddler- does anyone besides me find the name penlyric just a little
*too* contrived for a music professor?

Not me. But then, neither do I assume that Appalachian Studies amounts
to affirmative action for hillbillies. :-)

BTW, Iris Dement grew up in southern California. I like her work. My
favorites are Let the Mystery Be, and her protest song, Wasteland of the
Free.

I put her in the "whiny bitch" category of country music. I like that
genre. Laura Cantrell is one of my favorites.
