"What draws me to folk music, or popular music as I prefer it to be called, is that it is often the truest representation of a piece of time - what was happening on the other side of the plate glass at a given time in history. It is often a more accurate view than that which historians who have a particular axe to grind, would have us believe. When I came to look at some of the songs of the day, I noted that they were at odds with the secondary modern education history that I'd been brought up on. Only in odd lines - there's a spirit that rings more truthfully than some of the historians would have us believe." - John Tams nice term that, popular music.
