   Well, one person's opinion for what it's worth...  

   "California Girls" is in an *obtrusively* modern style -- sort of 
the "dayglo Nikes" of music.  "Barrett's Privateers" (at least if 
you tune out the first line) is more the "generic t-tunic" -- it's 
not _really_ Period, but to the less-musically-trained the "old
fashioned" folk style sort of blends in.  (Personally, I think BP 
is quite acceptable at the late-night campfire, but less so during 
more "formal" parts of the event.  Beach music would, *at least for 
me*, clash even late at night...)
