The more I think about folk artists (whether they be professional or amatuer in the sense of being involved in the music bizz) putting up trad. songs on YouTube, the more I think it's a brilliant thing. Though wading through some of the weird miscellany of playlists and channels can be a bit frustrating at times. The amount of stuff I've seen wrongly attributed as 'English' or 'Traditional' or whatever yet is nothing like, and not at some level of academic detail either, was most annoying when I first started looking for stuff to learn from.
