r.padgett Folklore: What Is Folk? (156* d) RE: Folklore: What Is Folk? 26 Jan 23


What is folk (music and song) such a difficult question to define!

Is it Country or is Country music a close brother/sister?

Is folk Rock based on folk music/song?

What is contemporary folk song, that is songs for example written in the traditional folk style and copyrighted so that performance fees can be made to the composer ~ is this "folk"?

I ask only and make no decisions
