Thread Name: Shortest definition of folk
Subject: RE: Shortest definition of folk
Jon, the second part of your definition: That´s it ! But I don´t agree with the first part. There are so many really great song-writers (famous ?!) who write songs, you could swear they only can be "time-proof" traditionals. That was what I first thought of songs I later knew as written by Eric Bogle and also Christy Moore, just to name a few.
