Thread Name: What IS Folk Music?
Subject: RE: What IS Folk Music?
I'd say that when it comes to Music genre, there's an awful lot of snobbery around.
I believe it was Louis Armstrong who said:
"All music is folk music, I ain't never heard no horse sing a song!"
I'm not sure I would agree with him entirely, but I think I can see whwere he's coming from.
(apologies if this quoitation has already been posted I must have missed it.)
