So in my further quest tonight to convince people that Nickle Creek is NOT country music I was trying to distinguish the difference between country and bluegrass. I think my attempts were a bit weak being as Dan commented, "Ben, Just come out of your closet!" To which I replied, "What closet! There is NO closet!" I stopped for a second and continued, "And no spoon either."

It was raining here in Seattle, so the gang staid inside tonight and watched fireworks courtesy of channel 4. I further condemned myself by commenting that the "Proud to be an American" song sounds better when sung by a country music artist. (With the inflection in the song it does! It just sounds like a bad early 90's pop song as it is!)

Maybe you can say I'm just a little bit "closet" country
