Inane, I may be but my observations don't ramble. They tend to be very much to the point.

My point is the same as always. Jim and a few anal types may have codifies what they regard as folk music. However the actual folk of England (including the early Ewan Macoll) express themselves very differently due to the fact they no longer live in isolation. THey are influenced by all sorts of music. They have moved on and voted with their feet. And I don't think anyone has the right to resent this.

(I am thinking of the jazz clarinet of Bruce Turner on Dirty Old Town. Don't think Ewan was writing about New Orleans.)
