Fear not Mbo, here is one more old fogey that is a fan of some of what is called "New Folk"

Shooglenifty rules for me! Especially if I feel like listening to the music with my body as well as my mind and kick up my heels and dance, besides they are fairly decent musicians to boot. I'm still not too old to partake in a "Whiskey Kiss".

Besides, I don't know what to class Richard Thompson and his music as. Guess I just like any music with "soul" and Burl Ives never did do it for me (although he did do a fairly decent version of Ghost Riders in the Sky) but that's not folk is it?

There are some very old tunes buried in the DT that could be called Folk just because of their age but they were boring when they were penned a hundred or two years ago and they are still boring,now....gee I guess I'm veering off into the unanswerable, done to death "What is Folk" topic....sorrry!
