GUEST,guy Wolff On Lap top	What do you consider Folk? (113* d)	RE: What do you consider Folk?	11 Aug 08
Sorry I hit the wrong button again . All these years on Mudcat and Im still hitting mac return and away goes my note . Folk music is of the people by the people and for the people . I do love the phrase Home made . The Japanese have a folk movement called Mingai meaning "The unknown Craftsmen" . We have a lot of known folk musicians of course but on the whole folk music s comes from the back porch and it's strength comes from that .. So why record or pay to hear people?? ::: because we love it done beautifully . I couldnt live without hearing Finest Kind or Bruce Malsky or Martin Carthy or or or or So one of folk music's most incongruent properties is that ware it comes from is not always where it ends up being found . Ha All the best to all here . Guy
