Tom,

Thank you for your congratulations.....

"Who are you to say any particular individual is a "dyed in the wool traddie"? - are you working to some sort of definition here?"

You could try the 1954 one and see if it fits? I can't see that it is valid as applied to what most people understand as "folk" but it might be a good definition of "traditional".


Your point about realities is valid, and yes I am describing the world that I observe. It seems real enough to me (but who knows?).

I accept that your opinion (for that is also all it is) may be that I am incorrect about the folk process being alive & well.....


Paul
