Well said Mike!!! Thanks for clarifying, that was the answer I was hoping to hear!

Some people become too obsessed with a need to label a folksong - actually the obssession might be in defining songs that they do NOT consider to be folksongs!   When you deal in labels like that, you forget the true purpose and meaning of the song. The textbook definitions are fine, but they are not the final answer.

Traditions are alive and changing with the times.
