Lots of snide (remember that word?) digs and insults, 'glueman' - but no answers or any real substance.
Come on, 'glueman' put your thinking cap on and give us your "Future Of Folk"! You have got some answers, haven't you?

I'll make it easy for you. Here's one of your recent assertions:

"So everything else is up for grabs, arrangement, instrumentation, idiom, style, presentation."

Here's some forms which have been applied to trad. song/music in the past:

- Unaccompanied
- Accompanied on portable, unamplified instruments
- Orchestral
- Choral
- Jazz settings
- Rock Band Settings

So what else is there left to try? Let's see if you can answer this question without resorting to insults, sarcasm or evasion.

I'm not holding my breath!
