Hello,

I think it might be a mistake to get hung upon whether a song is folk or non-folk. For the artist, a song is either a good song or not. If it is a good song, then, hopefully, they will sing it to every audience they meet. Because they believe in it, it will go over well. Those in the audience will put the song through their own filter...is it a good song or not. That is their right! I can think of artists who play 'pop' songs in the style of 'folk' songs and 'folk' songs in the style of 'pop' songs. Any unbiased audience of sobriety will react to good material performed with integrity!

Hello Art! What did you mean by your comment?

Best wishes,

Peter
