Followed that one learned Bridge until the last sentence. No intention of stopping anyone doing anything, least of all thinking they're the fairy at the top of the authenticity tree. Like I said, I have a taste for R and B but the cat is out of the bag on that one and RnB now consists of black girls in low cut dresses using 50 notes in a bar designed for 8.

Can't speak for the guitar as the preferred accompaniment to traditional song either. One would imagine it was the popular instrument among beatniks and was absorbed into the folk scene osmotically. More of a banjo man meself. So much of your stuff sounds like no-one understands me and a quick sniff of the smelling salts. I just don't think folk definitions came down with the other wize wordz from Sinai and therefore it has to bob about with the vying cultural artifacts for contemporary head space.
