a good song does not have to become good through the folk process it can be good to start with

Yes, of course. I've never heard anyone say otherwise. Great songs abound. The question isn't whether or not something is good, but whether or not we should call it traditional folk music. That's been said at least a dozen times already just on this thread and yet comments like these keep coming up. Why? I haven't seen anyone who likes traditional music making any quality judgments about anyone else's preferred music, or claiming that traditional music is inherently better than any other kind of music. All that's being said is that it's different. And that it should be allowed to have it's own place if someone is willing to go to the work of providing such a place.
