Dick I am pleased to hear thar you are sharing your experience with the future possible folk lovers.

I take my guitar to a couple of primary schools and try to teach the kids the rudiments of how to play the guitar. I don't teach them folk music as such but let's say it is folkish.

I am more concerned about teaching them to play music - I will leave it to them what they want to play.

Cheers
