This planet isn't big enough for any of us to be xenophobic. Look at the Balkans, for gods sake.

Our wee folk club in east coast Scotland is certainly not that. We have members from several countries and many of our patrons go to the bother of learning songs in different languages! Bulgarian for one!

I think that because "folk" music is every where, we can all understand a little of what each of us is trying to say in our own way. I just wish every one every where would make a bigger effort to try understand their neighbours. We just have this one piece of rock in space to play with- so lets stop farting around!
