Would it be worth it to mention in the Film section that this music is touched on in the Martin Scorsese documentary "Feel Like Going Home"? Scorsese also uses it on the "Gangs Of New York" soundtrack. He seems to like it a lot, but that may be irrelevant. JbZ 03:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)jbZ
Rural Southern U.S.A. Afro-American Fife and Drums music is not blues any more than call and response gospel for example is - the recorded tunes even include waltz. The title is at least misleading, and the category "Blues" very discutable. I'd suggest Afro-American Fife and Drums... except that it does not cover the Jamaica, Guyana etc. traditions (which I'm unable to cover). As is, and despite my love of this music, the article's pertinence and usefulness seems very doubtful : unless someone's able to develop it as an article either on afro-american fife and drums musicS or on rural southern usa afro-american (non-blues) "party" music (or in a general and as-yet-inexistant Fife and Drums music article !) , it could almost be deleted.
