I think all the music that we discuss on this list is derivative in some
way. That doesn't make it any less enjoyable to me. IMHO, we need more
people like Ham, Rhodes, Grahame, Nilsson, etc.. In fact, I would like
to know if there are MORE in that vein out there. Give us an example of
a "true artist", so we can discuss only what you like?
