Subject: RE: It isn't 'Folk', but what is it we do?
I agree, Richard. I have sung in clubs where the clientelle want trad songs. I sang trad songs. Only a cad or novice would inflict rock and roll on people who want songs about open country and the range. I do agree with you, and possibly I did misunderstand. Frankly, I am not much of a purist, but I'm not completely stupid either, contrary to some folks' opinions on this site. A fool would play X for an audience that had clearly paid money to hear Z. So, I'll leave what I hope becomes a great thread, and one long overdue, IMO. Best to you.
