Ernest, I like you disagreeing with me for that may mean I could be wrong and I would love to be wrong here.

No, I didn't mean that awful 'Volksmusik', I do mean traditional 'folk music' (which as an aside for non-Germans is sometimes called 'Deutsche folk music' just to separate it from the 'Volksmusik' of the TV shows). I personally have heard and learned it in so many more right of the middle contexts (boy scouts etc) that I may overgeneralise my experience.

Go on disagreeing with me. I hope you're right.
