Well, 'Spaw, I get your 'point', but frankly the same could be said for lots of the folk music analysis that's indulged in on Mudcat, like so:

"Hey.....I gotcher fockin' folk music analysis shit right here."

And I've certainly seen that very sentiment expressed in some of the 'what is folk and what isn't' threads.

I'm sayin', what's the fockin' difference, except that dave's Wife is an anthropologist and you or George P. are a musician.
