I have just taken on the distasteful task of reading through this whole thread. Admittedly, I scanned through mos of the "Long-Winded" submissions & can find no relevance to folk music what-so-ever!
I have little use for the BS threads and this is where this one belongs.
Please tell me; What exactly am I learning about Folk Music, here?

As for the title? A blatant abuse of our trust. Just like the telemarketers, you lost my support the instant that you misrepresented yourself.
