Though I imagine what you are specifically refering to here is the use of the (redundant?) terminology.

The other night at a session I sang three of my favourite traditional songs - I was A Young Man, Hanged I Shall Be and The Poacher's Fate - which have been with me now for over 30 years. Only afterwards did I realise that I learnt all three of them off the same LP - The Battle of the Field by The Albion Country Band. A fine album, indeed the only UK Folk Rock album I've ever taken to my heart, but can you imagine anything more embarrassing for a self-respecting traddy going home thinking - oh my God - I hope no one noticed... I keep trying to relearn The Gallant Poacher after the singing of Walter Pardon (VOTP Vol 18), but all to no avail; I'm sure when I die and they dissect my brain they'll find the ACB version hard-wired in there. The joys of Cultural Ambience.

But yes, I agree with you heartily, SR - YouTube is about real folks making the best of available technology; and I listen to a lot of my 'Folk Music' there - rather like Pavane's singing of Edward that you can get on another thread. He sources it to Nic Jones, but in his hands it becomes something else entirely, which is as it should be.
