Lighten up Shimrod!

I ask myself, is it really folk music? We've established over several years that none of us agree here what folk music is, and absolutely nobody agrees with the people who claim to KNOW ABSOLUTELY what folk music is.

I ask myself does it make my hair in unseen regions stand on end?

Are they just some meretricious copy of some trashy music?

Do I like the cut of their gib?

The answer in nine out of ten cases is probably no, but cheer up Shimrod, old pal! You might win the raffle!

And most of us give it our best, but there will be someone out there who thinks its rubbish. Goes with the territory, and whatever you do its still better to have a go, than do nothing.
