Holy mackerel, I can't believe the number of postings to this thread. Too bad I was away for 2 days and missed it all.

Anyone who's ever been called a folksinger by himself or anyone else has probably been accused of not being a folksinger by various other people. I look forward to seeing Rick play in Orillia fairly soon, and when I do I will let you all know if I think he's a folksinger...not that it matters what I think...but what the heck! How ya doin' sophocleese?

I agree with Jon Freeman. If it sounds like folk (subjective judgement), then it is folk.
