Is it any wonder that there is a problem communicating in this thread? If people can't agree what folk music is, how can you tell what someone means by "folkie?" Whoever these "folkies" are, they don't seem to like "old-time" music. Whatever that is... Clarence Ashley or Hobart Smith playing a banjo and singing, or Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers.

Apparently, some members of an undefineable group of people don't like some undefineable music.

Dang..
