Thread Name: What is the future of folk music?
Subject: RE: What is the future of folk music?
I wonder what instrument would take over should guitars somehow disappear or were banned? I guess, out of fairness, any guitar hybrids should be included in the cull. I suspect the bouzouki would win out. Small, portable, easy to strum along on, similar range as an average guitar. But, if bouzouki's / banjo's etc were also zapped, I'd fear the rise of the cheap electronic keyboard. Gosh, I hope it doesn't happen, although a Bontempi bossanova version of Tam Lin may be worth hearing. Unless Jim Moray's already done one I should know about?
