Y'all just do what ya want...Art Thieme & I are going off to a concert together.

So many simply ignore my point. There IS a difference between the older music and the stuff since ...oh, the 1950s & 1960s or so...SOME of us want to be able to specialize in the older satuff...What shall we call it if you keep stuffing every thing that is remotely acoustic and has the vaguest of connections to it under the 'folk' label? Why can't YOU at least call modern singer-songwriter and Beatles music "folk derivative" or "pop acoustic" or something? **FOLK** meant something once, but it was co-opted. Then we tried saying explicitly *TRAD**...but now, you want to call Dylan and the Beatles trad.
   What IS a poor old purist snob to do? Hmmm? *grin*
