Open Stage, song circle, come all ye, ballad session, acoustic session, jam, singaround

As (take yer pick) Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong, Big Bill Broonzy, Fats Waller have allegedly said. It's all folksinging - "I ain't never heard a horse sing"

For me it has to be folk singing/playing. If an electrical switch is involved it ain't folk singing - it is electronics. And I should know.

Or entertainment and there is more than enough of that at the flick of a switch.
