I really do dislike those (and you know who you are)who try to tell me thatI must follow certain rules/definitions. Balderdash, rubbish and poppycock are three words that come immediately to mind, there are others, but my mother taught me to be polite. lease don't try to tell me that I must follow some damned definition that was cobbled together 50 some odd years ago, engraved in stone and trumpeted as the be all and end all.It wasn't then, it isn't now, and it never will be. I am very very aware of from whence I come, I am very aware of my cultural heritage..yes, unlike some I actually do come from a rural background (not that really matters) Please don't tell me that I must follow the somewhat vague standards of the 1954 definition in order to "undertand" and thoroughly appreciate the songs and tunes I sing and play, because that truly is utter and complete balderdash.

Oh heavens, I'm getting as wordy as Jim Carroll *LOL*
