My parents aren't folkies, in fact they don't care for music that much at all. 45 minutes of music and they don't want to hear it anymore for at least 2 days. I have a great love for many kinds of music, including folk, and I like to play it straight, and to mix it up with other kinds of music. This is no "transient, superficial" thing, it is how I work and how I create & play music. My dillema is that I like older music traditons that people my age obviously hate and put down(bringing folk music to class didn't go over to well)and I like a lot of modern music that older people hate and put down. Could someone please tell me where I fit in the picture?
