The past is dead. The only ones who can bring it back to life are the Time Travellers, the Chrono-Gypsies. Those are the folks you see padding up and down the paths at the Getaway every year. They can whisk you back to 1880 in the flip of an A-minor. Sixteen hundred is a bit trickier, but there are a few who can do it with apparent ease. The REAL lost folk music is for dates before 1100. Especially in remote nations like, for example, Lilliput.

I'm going to stop refering to the old songs I'm interested in as 'traditional folk' because the term seems to cause too much conflict amongst people and it seems to distress singer songwriters in particular - so I'm going to follow D of E's example and simply call them "Samantha" from now on.

If everyone is smart and follows suit, then there will never be any more need for threads debating 'what is folk'.

Those of you who have operated in this cultural zone for some time will have heard these arguments time & again, but people more recently arrived might still need or wish to explore them.

So those of you who want such arguments to go away are risking alienating newcomers and insisting that everything has already been said. There is a definite danger in insisting the old timers know it all.

Which is one of the reasons some people steer clear of folk music.

The traditional way that these threads go, is that somebody should have descended to vulgar abuse by now, and that the person abused should have provided a link to a previous, interminable squabble on the same topic. The reply to this reply should be pointing out a spelling mistake or grammatical error too.

What all these threads about "what is folk?" prove IMHO is that people find folk/traditional important enough to debate.

Even if they can't agree, it's obviously da*med important.

Maybe it's important because people realise that there's something "good" about folk/traditional/etc.

I think the real question is: what is "good" about folk music? What is the good example it sets?

A point about all this.
These debates are seldom about the real definition of folk song; rather they almost exclusively cover whether what goes on in today's 'folk clubs' can be described, loosely or otherwise, as 'folk song'.
The term is clearly defined, researched and documented and works, in the form of books, articles, magazines, journals and printed and recorded examples, usually researchedm analysed and annotated, have regularly appeared since the beginning of the twentieth century and continue to do so with steady regularity all over the world.
The existing definition of folk will remain until it is either adapted (very much needed) or replaced (possibly by continual misuse - but this usually takes at least decades, if not centuries and involves the population as a whole, who up to now have shown no interest in the subject whatsoever) by something else.
So really, these long, convoluted and usually fascinating (to me anyway) debates are little more than family squabbles as to whether the club scene (as small and ineffectual as it is outside its own goldfish bowl) should make a U.D.I. and decide to go it alone (who was Ian Smith anyway?).
Long may they continue - at least it means we continue to think about what we do and have enough nouse and good manners to discuss it with others.
LET THE GAMES RE-COMMENCE!!

What is folk threads come in many guises, even the traditional No Surrender ones are slicable. There are those who believe the tradition is dead but re-enacted, those who believe there was a break and rediscovery and the ones who think they are continuing the seamless and unceasing tradition of our forebears.

Each of those are further atomised into believers in performance quality and those who think vocal and instrumental viruosity is contrary to the true tradition of The People.
Then there's folk venue purists, before we get to idiomatic re-invention by singer songwriters. Most of it is Folkier than Thou, angels on the head of a pin, puritanism dressed as populism stuff but someone's gotta do it.
