Thread Name: Who Killed Folk Music?
Subject: RE: Who Killed Folk Music?
Richard, you just used the word "chaps". In this country (U.S.) the word means an article of clothing that are worn by cowboys. Yet you have a different usage of the word.
Folk music means different things to different people. I certainly would not call singer-songwriters "traditional", but I have no problem calling certain artists "folk".
