"Just to back-track, above is Will Fly's opening sentence from his first post. My reponse to this is: I don't care! I do not consider it my responsibility to attract young people (or anyone else for that matter) into 'the fold'. I'm not an evangelist and I dislike evangelism - for a start. If people - young or old - find their way to folk music, that's fine and I will welcome them - but that's where my responsibility stops. If the next generation allows the music to die out, that's their responsibility, not mine!"

Pure unadulterated selfishness. God help us all if this attitude were to prevail.
