Subject: RE: Folk- how do you relate to 'it'?
I'm with Sian H above !! I have played in Ceilidh ( and Appalachian ) bands , but can't actually dance ; nevertheless , just sitting watching other people dancing gives me great pleasure !! And listening to Tom Lewis singing "North West Passage" definitely transports me to the Frozen Wastes , even when sung in Polish ( "Poles Apart" ; the harmonies are gorgeous !!). I like the history contained in so many songs , too. And being part of some indefinable " scene" or "clique" is,at times , very exciting !
