I wouldn'r call myself a folkie, I'm a jazz 'n' blues fiend with a passing interest in folk, but Herself bought me a T-shirt on my 50th birthday which read: "I'm not 50, I'm 18 with 32 years experience".
Pretty much sums me up, I feel about 25 inside , the other 30-odd years don't seem to have added any wisdom (or new jokes!)
