Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
I agree with Stringsinger. Especially: "When folk music becomes a "museum piece" it is because it is frozen into a performance art piece for an audience that expects it".
And: "They are not associated with coffee house venues or staged concerts but whenever a lullaby to a child is sung, folk songs tend to survive".
