(i) "How old do you have to be to play "proper" f*lk music then?....I'm vaguely hoping I might still be a "CY".

.....and how old do the songs need to be?"

(ii) "Shimrod, am I missing some rule where people who like traditional music have to swear off kick-arse rock 'n' roll?"

Isn't it odd that if you express an opinion about music (especially an opinion in support of trad. folk and anti-rock 'n' roll) you are automatically deemed to be laying down rules?

Where, exactly, did I suggest that any rules should apply?
