Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Here I'm afraid you are approaching almost total incoherence.

The distinction was suggested by Jim Carroll, but seeing you're having difficulty, allow me to clarify. I sing Traditional Songs but I don't play anything from the instrumental traditions. Thus do I distinguish Traditional Song (er - Songs) from Traditional Music (instrumental tunes). Now go back & read it again.
