Hi Shimrod - I also remember, even now, much-loved songs I learned at school, and I still like them. I also remember Elvis singing "That's All Right Mama" and "Hound Dog" and thinking "Yes!"

One doesn't have to replace the other. Elvis also had his roots - they may not be our roots, but they're worthy ones, just the same. There's something very seductive about the rhythms and riffs of 50s rock'n roll and rockabilly - so much so that I played it for 13 years. Didn't stop me going to folk clubs, though. :-)
