I know that this is a folkie site and, hey, I really am kinda folkie, even though I play a bastardized North Missisppi Hill Country footstomping kinda blues...

What's the problem? That's a legitimate subcategory of "folk," IMO. If some "folks" are too puristic to allow it, I have eight words for them, the last six of which are "...if they can't take a joke."
