Subject: RE: Folk Science
Yer right Bill. I certainly do respect your opinions. And I'm always ready to discuss these matters with friends. I've had many an interesting discussion/battle with friends here.

Folklore is much a much broader subject than just music. Many a Folk Myth has eventually been incorporated into modern science. Penicillin and aspirin, were the once the scoffed at folk remedies of mouldy cheese and willow bark.

I was hoping to get more folk observations, come on, you MUST know some!
