earlier you do the traditional music with contemporary music. That all come to be. Well it's a combination of those living in the Valley of Virginia where there are a lot of people that play old time music with little banjos and mandolins and we learn from a lot of people there and of course we live in a contemporary world so we kind of take the old and put it with the new. Do you think that there are still some traditional songs that hold their own as far as in a contemporary world. Oh sure sure that's why they're still around. People are still singing songs that are hundreds of years old is still pretty pertinent. Good word to what's going on today. And so that's why people sing and you have a concert coming up soon. This is the twenty eighth of November where we are Tom Paxton at the Royal Theater. We're looking forward to that Tom Paxton is a writer whose songs everybody knows. Yes the concert start I think eight o'clock or something like that. Check your local listings. OK. If you were a blue bird I'm like you're ready.
