The traditional stuff is recorded, so it doesn't matter if it carries on or not, but probably there will be a leavening of erudite ones who will keep it fresh.

There will be people who like the ambience of people like themselves who like similar music, and who like to showcase their own songs. Maybe they will do it in 'Folk Clubs.'

The Auckland Folk Festival was last weekend, and there were more teenagers than I've seen there ever before, in more than 30 years. Perhaps you adults should emigrate to here, to smooth out the generation gap.
