Jon-
I'd go along with the intersecting circles idea, but to my mind the first circle would consist of music played, sung and performed to members of your own cultural community, and the other music plyed, sung and performed for "outsiders". The fist circle is what I consider to be folk. And the area of intersection can become vanishingly small.
