As to your little comments about 'my' definition *grin*....aren't definitions practically useless if everyone applies his own? You can apply any definition of label you care to for your own personal use, but in order to refer to things in a community, there needs to be some agreement and commonality.

Precisely, Bill. My point is that there is no accepted definition so mine is as good as any other. I'm not sure I follow the other thing about my missing the point (... which I suppose means I'm missing the point -- you're right!)

Incidentally, (if the definition of 'pop' is as the abbreviation of 'popular') the Black Velvet Band was a UK No. 1 hit in the 60s.

Be careful, Bill -- agreeing with 91.027% of my posts makes you my biggest fan by a huge (huge!) margin. *grin*
