That sounds more like folk to me, Al - as Richard and Charles have both demonstrated here. Your average folky scowls from his sactimonious den ready to denounce as bollocks any heresy to the prescriptive orthodoxies of their superior 'purist' 1954 faith (being born in 1961 I say it hardly applies to me).

Mind you, when I'm in our folk club (or any other folk club) I don't court controversy, much less question such terms as 'In the Tradition' or 'The Folk Process' that glibly pepper the conversation much less point out that the repetoir of many a self-respecting Traddy owes more to Martin Carthy than Harry Cox. That's a sort of Karaoke I suppose, like Richard's Famous Flower of serving Men, which is a wondrous piece of Idiomatic Balladry in itself however so derived, or contrived, or, indeed, RE-FASHIONED.

Like all music, the various idioms of Folk exist / existed within specific cultural & social contexts, outside of which they make little sense other than in terms of a generalised fundamentalist / escapist / eccentric romanticism which is the popular view of Folk in its various guises. But Folk is all things to all Folkies; by it's very nature it is changing all the time, even though the tendancy remains to write new songs that only sing about how good the old one was.
