Above, I at least tried to make clear my awareness that such problems did exist in the 1950s, e.g., Volgadon...but, overall, things are worse and, again, our politicians and media do tend to argue much more over possible solutions, rather than whether things have indeed gotten worse. And how does this link back to Chords in Folk? - only in so far as their increased use on our folk-scene is one minute example of loss of traditional ways.
