Jim's right. The 1954 definition has meaning. Words have to have clear meanings so that we can understand what we mean. Change them to suit our own purposes and we can get into trouble, because people will be able to interpret what we say in ways that suit them... There's folk music as understood by the 1954 definition and the similar concept outlined in Folk Song in England. The rest is stuff we enjoy - or not. Gav
