Folk "Entertainer" - it appears we are talking over each others head. I'm not going to lose sleep over it because as I've stated before, and by the examples I've shared, this music is alive and well. If you take comfort in taking an opposing view, knock your socks off. If the definition of "folk" is based on "performer/audience" ratio, then you are referring to folk as entertainment and not as a study of music - so we are talking to different animals.

Your generation did a great job. Enjoy what you've done. The old lightbulb no longer shines, but there is a new lightbulb in it's place. Perhaps you will someday find the lightswitch.
