heaven forbid if theres ever a new trend in smothering any form of folk music in gratuitous self indulgent meandering 'sophisticated' jazz style

A 19th century folk musician commented ironically:

"heaven forbid if there's ever a new trend in smothering any form of folk music in gratuitous self indulgent meandering styles with that there imported guitar".

"heaven forbid if there's ever a new trend in smothering any form of folk music with gratuitous self indulgent singer-song writers".

"heaven forbid if there's ever a new trend in smothering any form of folk music in gratuitous self indulgent meandering melodeons".

"heaven forbid if there's ever a new trend in smothering any form of folk music in gratuitous self indulgent meandering 11 piece bands. It'll never attract people. Who on earth would want to see and hear that?".
