Yes, unfortunately. At least I know where to look in future if all else fails :mrgreen:



Yep - that will be useful!!!! But I have to say, classifying Moya with Country is...........well, I won't say an insult exactly but.....lets say I think it's bad taste :oops: :) Sorry, I really don't like that style.

I know what you mean there G .... I'm not a fan of Country and Western either. And it's completely different from Moya and really unMoya, isn't it?

Having said that, I know some great people who are into C&W, my parents included :)

Garbo, I've heard of Bluegrass from someone on another forum, but can't say I know a lot about it.

i listen to everything and by everything i mean from old bluegrass to opera to underground music to... everything. you have to find songs or bands within those genres that are appealing to you.

I don't think her music is exactly Christian, but from what I have heard so far, it is spiritual, which doesn't actually have to relate to any particular religion.

I guess you're right in a sense.. although Moya clearly wrote it with Christian ideas in minid, as is the case with so many song lyrics, if could be viewed from many different sides as many different things.. intreresting, that neevr occured to me any more..thanks for bringing it up!

Well, Perfect Time and Whisper to the Wild Water were written with a Christian theme in mind and were release on a Christian music label. The other albums were not written with this frame of mind.

she writes about it in her book, that they have Christian themes. and besides, it's like Tolkien, you cannot help but let your views bleed through onto your work. that's just the case.

No, there aren't a lot of similarities. Calling Moya's music 'rap' is completely absurd. It was just a joke :D
