Crow Sister,

Why do you ask? Actually, I'm Scottish and have an interest in the music of my ancestors. I also have Irish relatives and friends who are part of the struggle for Irish independence, so there's an emotional and personal investment there.

As far as being a "folk singer", I'm not sure what you mean. If that appellation is meant to be a mild pejorative, as though a "folk singer" is some sort of person that picks and chooses songs for "entertainment purposes", then, no, I am not a "folk singer".

I perform at libraries, schools and fairs and such, and always want there to be historical and cultural significance to the songs I sing and the stories I tell. In that sense, yes, I suppose I am a folk singer.

I apologize in advance if I have misunderstood your question... these things always HEAR better than they READ.

Regards,

BBS
