Not really.  Sacred Harp music uses much simpler harmony than most Western
art music of the last 400 years or so - lots of bare fourths and fifths,
and quite a few "parallel fifths" where the melodic lines of different
parts are simple transpositions of each other by a fifth.  Modal music tends
to imply simple harmony, but it doesn't have to - listen to some mid-16th-
century Italian music, or more recently Vaughan Williams and Bartok, for
examples to the contrary.  There are two other kinds of music that have a
similar combination of modality and minimal harmony to the Sacred Harp: one
is the mediaeval form of "organum", the major composer of which was Leonin,
and the other is the folk music of Georgia (the ex-Soviet one).  You might
look these out if you like the Sacred Harp.

Ken has developed a melodic style of clawhammer and is a master of it.
He also has some of the best teaching materials around.  But the melodic
style is not to everyone's taste, including mine.  I much prefer the
more gritty, percussive style found in the Appalachians.

Yehuda Poliker I believe was born in Greece/Cyprus and then moved to Israel

Well, the whole designation of New age Music has been a mystery to me.
There was a book out a couple of years ago that listed "the top 500
New Age Musicians in the country" (the book's quote) and to my surprise,
I found our band listed in it as 'New Age Folk'.
Now, I supposed we should be honored but it never occurred to us that
anyone who has heard our music would classify it under any type of
a 'New Age' category. (our band uses hammer dulcimers, bouzouki, guitar,
harmonica, bass, saxophones, synths, etc.)

So, I agree with some of the other posts that I've read that note the
confusion between New Age Music and the New Age "Thinking". In any
event, since we've always has trouble classifying our music, it doesn't
surprise us that the term 'new age music' could be applied to newer
forms of music that reviewers have trouble categorizing.

A member of the seal-people changeling race

As the male 1/2 of the song says:

          ^or something like
 my home it is in Sule Skerrie"

	Over the recent holidays, I indulged myself and made the 2+ hour drive
to Staten Island, NY and that meca of catalog guitar sales: Mandolin Brothers.
I hadn't been in 10+ years, when I bought my M36, and was in need of filling
my lungs with the dust and my ears with the sounds of prewar Martins.  I 
spent about 4 hours in the shop, bouncing from one OM to another 000 to
various other fingerstyle (there's that word!) guitars, new and old.  

	To my surprise, the guitar that made the most lasting impression was not
the $11000 1930 OM 28 (I did, after all, need to save some change for tolls),
but a brand new mahogany OM made by Santa Cruz.  A very playable, sweet and
crisp guitar.  Well made, I thought: no glue traces or finish imperfections.
I might have walked out with the instrument then and there were it not for
a few other considerations (wife, three kids, mortgage, car loans and credit
cards still dizzy from the holidays).  

	This was my first experience with the products of the SCGC.  I also
played an Indian and Brazilian SC OM, as well as an FS.  Again, the "cheaper"
mahogany OM (at $2100), made the best impression.

	Ok, enough with this indulgence.  Comments and discussion of Santa Cruz
guitars, or OMs in general is welcomed (and enthusiastically encouraged).

	Best wishes to all in '93

That'd be "Home" (surprise, surprise!).

I _loved_ that first album of hers from the middle to late 1970's.
I'd highly recommend (and I'd shout out for in a concert if she didn't
do it) "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me":

	There's somebody waiting, alone in the street
	For someone to walk up and greet 
	Here you are all alone in the city
	Where's the one that you took to your side?
	Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night

	And they'll say, "Woman sweet woman, please come home with me
	You're shinin' and willin' and free"
	But your [their?] love it's a common occurance,
	Not like love that I feel in my heart
	Still you know that may be what I need

	Is someone to lay down beside me, even though it's not real
	Someone to lay down beside me, you're the story of my life . . .

That, again, from memory . . .  Reminds me of the Cowboy Junkies' (that is,
Michael Timmons') lyric, "I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight | to fall
into and maybe strike a deal | your body for my soul, fair swap | 'cause
cheap is how I feel . . . "

Oh, god.  Stop me now.  Still my pounding heart.  Is that the same version
that's on the old "No Nukes" album?  That's just a *fantastic* version!
Does anybody know the tab or chords to that? 

*sigh*

And I too can't recommend her later stuff, in particular the only CD of 
hers that I've got, namely _New World_.  Go for the first album!!!

The best-known Locrian piece is (I'm about to make a liar of myself

but there are a few western examples.  Not too many, partly because
the scale doesn't come with a fifth.  There's a nice Bulgarian
folksong/dance titled "Pelegnala Ye Tudora" which is Locrian.  And
I think it was Ewan MacCall who wrote "The Gravedigger's Song" in
Locrian, just so he'd be able to say that there was one in English.
And Bronson has one version of House Carpenter in a pentatonic
scale which is Locrian/Phrygian/Aeolian.
