I guess I'm still in the younger generation, at least by one definition. I got my first taste of folk music (aside from what I learned at Scout camp) from a commercial album - Burl Ives' brand-new Wayfaring Stranger on 78's that my uncle gave me for my 12th birthday.

Age is not measured in years, it's an attitude, and I believe only an adult can appreciate folk/traditional music. I'm happy that so many REAL youngsters are mature enough to see the good in it.
