I've said elsewhere, there is NOT going to be a mass conversion to "folk" music, (despite the wishful thinking of some) and that what a person chooses to do musically, or otherwise is exactly that, it's a choice. The way you come across is that someone who CHOOSES to sit at home in front of the television is somehow a lesser person than someone who hangs around folk clubs.
I don't consider myself a "folk" musician. Traditional songs are but one part of my repertoire, both in bands and as a solo artist.

That's what I mean.
