Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
Agreed Ruth
Thats largely why I prefer to use the term traditional for what many here call "folk"
There is of course still the question of how anybody working now can add to the canon of material. Assuming that they are working identifiably within the traditional style. Whose characteristics I belive to include use of narrative based on experience, modal based or modal sounding tunes etc etc.
