Thread Name: Folklore: What Is Folk?
Subject: RE: Folklore: What Is Folk?
What is folk (music and song) such a difficult question to define!
Is it Country or is Country music a close brother/sister?
Is folk Rock based on folk music/song?
What is contemporary folk song, that is songs for example written in the traditional folk style and copyrighted so that performance fees can be made to the composer ~ is this "folk"?
I ask only and make no decisions
