Thread Name: Celebrate 'Folk'
Subject: Celebrate 'Folk'
Just dipping my toes in the water here!
I've enjoyed the 'folk scene' for more years than I care to remember but what makes it special to you?
I'm not looking for an over-intelligent debate here about the meaning and history of folk and its interpretation of traditional and non traditional folk.
Definately not. Just your from the heart feelings about what sucked you in to the folk scene in the first place and why you've stayed with it.
What is it that it is so appealing to you year after year and why is it that (in my opinion) it is 'one big family' where you bump into so many good friends and relationships that you have gained festival upon festival around the country?
To me this is something very special that should be celebrated as something very special. Will you raise a glass with me to celebrate the 'folk' experience and say why it is special to you?
