As one who lived in a suburban wasteland for many years, I'm with Sandy- sing anyway! Of course, Sandy, not everyone has your particular spirit that gets us all singing, but I sang to myself, and listened to recordings, and traveled far to hear music, when no one around me wanted to listen. Lo and behold, after awhile people were actually asking me to sing, and to help them learn how to sing- maybe if you don't call it folk music, people who would otherwise stay away in droves might come and might find themselves singing along!
