Everything on the site seems to be categorized into Old time, Bluegrass, jazz, etc... but no Texas style? Sure I'm biased, but I think that being as it's a standard at all of the major fiddle contests around the country, and has its own unique history, icons, traditions, and techniques, it ought to be given a little more recognition on this site.
For example, see the attached photo from the Lessons area on the site. There are categories for all kinds of fiddling... with the very notable omission of Texas style. It's not like it's some kind of small niche - this is one of the major styles out there! Kinda wondering why it's not included...

As Chicken Man says, the site isn't broken up into various styles or genres. It just seems that way because the vast majority of the posters are OT players and fans. Yeah, it's true that when my posts stray off the OT path they're usually ignored but I've come to terms with that...
