Just musing what your reaction would have been at the age of 16 if the people you are now wanted you to become part of their music scene/club.

There is a vibrant young acoustic/alt folk/urban folk scene out there playing fantastic creative music, its not the equivalent of the 50's revival yet but it is growing and its influence is spreading. Let them get on with it.

Hey, if they'd come to our clubs we would have stiffled them by saying they weren't traditional enough or that we don't play that song that way here or you can't perform that song because its Fred's. Even though we didn't mean to stiffle them we would, that is just the nature of the game.
