Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
Thanks Don. We simply have a failure to communicate. I'm sure if we were sitting face to face it would be easier for each of us to understand what the other is trying to say.   

I'm not claiming that you can sit down and write a TRUE folk song, but I have no problem with someone who wishes to classify it as such. You and I understand that it does not fit the historic definition, but I allow for contemporary usage to change meanings. I understand your relucatance and reasons why that should not be, but that is where we disagree.   No one is right or wrong.
