RTP-area local music and culture

Um, where have you been? David was probably the first or 2nd local 
writer to write about Tift, back when she was performing solo or as a 
duo with Zeke, and he gave plenty of coverage to the Carbines as they 
were getting rolling, both in the N&O and in No Depression magazine.

The "news" business means that you can't, and shouldn't, keep writing 
about the same stuff/people repeatedly unless those people do something 
"new," so it would make sense that you might not have seen much about 
Tift from Dave in the N&O in the 2 years since her first album.

Try googling "Tift Merritt" and Menconi & I think you'll realize yr error.
