Re: but is this the other side of 'co-opting'?

wle,
you make some good points.

1. If you are interested in seeing a creole/black audience. Go to a "church dance". Most of the white folks are too intimidated to go to them.

2. Most of the LA artists will not travel outside of the LA/TX area unless they have to. After a while it will happen.

Even Keith Frank is not filling the local clubs like he used to and is travelling.

I think of Travis' current music as "pop" Zydeco. It's catchy, party music. Even he will probably get tired of it and probably start composing more "interesting" stuff after a while.
