Subject: RE: Folklore: Are 'What is Folk?' Threads Finished?
Those of you who have operated in this cultural zone for some time will have heard these arguments time & again, but people more recently arrived might still need or wish to explore them.

So those of you who want such arguments to go away are risking alienating newcomers and insisting that everything has already been said. There is a definite danger in insisting the old timers know it all.

Which is one of the reasons some people steer clear of folk music.
