Now, if we can all shake hands and return to our respective corners...

Really, Joel, if you were to look at a past discussion such as The shortest definition of folk or The demise of Folk Music, Part II you would see a number of strong opinions, confused opinions, and just plain opinions on all of this. What a can of worms!

Anyway, despite all this ruckus, I wanted to say that if you would send me a message as to where to send the bucks, I would be happy to do so and would be happier still to hear your songs. If I can ever work out some tunes to my own songs, I'll send them to you. As it is, they are mostly just collections of words waiting to become songs.
