threads on the meaning of folk

Or, just ask me. I have explained for 15 years here that it isn't a definition, but a process of elimination/inclusion based on easily understood and mostly universal categories. Some music obviously is.. some obviously is not... and in the middle it will always be fuzzy.

Then I will explain art vs. craft, pretty vs,ugly... and by petition, good vs. bad.
