Ron and Richard, you speak perfect sense. I have had this discussion on other threads. It bores me rigid the way that the traddies bang on and on about 'proper' folk music. Just because it's not 200 years old and 'collected' by some old geezer with the arse hanging out of his trousers that stumbled across some fella singing about the merry month of bleeding May, doesn't mean that it isn't folk music. Now let's have a big hand for the Boston FOLK Festival and it's awesome line-up.
