"We're singing, but we're not the folk."

I really don't understand this Pip. It seems to come from a peculiar self-loathing combined with a search for some bucolic hearthfire. Kids are making acoustic music together and delivering it to their friends. My Richard Thompson and John Martyn stuff is gathering decades of dust, unplayed, the Hank Williams still gets an occasional spin. Folk is still happening, just not in folk clubs which is why I never visit the damned places.
