Will,you are almost probably right, but those of who know what 'folk' music is, and there are plenty of us out here, try to promote it and start clubs and sessions, but it is pretty sad when they are swamped by acoustic players who just want to sing Damien Rice or Springsteen songs. It tends to get on ones tits to be honest. However, if each of us true believers can convert just one person each on forums like this, then all the crap we have to wade through on topics like this would be worth it.
