Thread Name: What IS Folk Music?
Subject: RE: What IS Folk Music?
Shimrod, what you probably have forgotten is that what we call 'folk' today was the pop music of its time.
You might not like the idea but some of todays great songwriters like Bruce Springsteen and Townes Van Zandt will doubtless become the folk heroes of the future.
