"Designated Folk Context"

That's even worse. No one I know talks about music this way.

'Sinister Jabberwocky' wasn't name-calling, it was a literary reference based upon your tortured prose and your uses and abuses of logic.

Again (feeling like a broken record, or a sample loop), your argument is circular and self-referential. The 1954 definition describes the processes by which folk music evolves. It's not where the song comes from, but what happens to it along the way. It can be applied cross-culturally. Your definition – 'Folk Music is anything that happens in a Folk Club' (I paraphrase) - does not seem to be an improvement, not to me anyway.

I thought our exchanges had been friendly so far. I'm not trying to be offensive, but I know that I come across that way sometimes.
