The notion that singer-songwriter refers to folk music is quite a misled thought. The whole world does not listen to folk under ANY definition of the term. Some people do.

Many s-s today write rock, rap, blues, contemporary, and yes, folk-style music. Getting one`s nuts in a knot over it is foolish. There are a few people who `look down their noses` at singer-songwriters. That`s their choice, just as it is the choice of others to disagree. I prefer to listen to well-written music done well: played well and sung well. I don`t restrict myself to genres as a rule. If it`s good, I want to hear it. Whether it`s rock, rap, blues, contemporary, and yes, folk-style music. IMO, doing otherwise is an expression of a somewhat closed mindéear. However, if that`s your `bag`, go for it.

Good to see you posting again, Ron. Trust you have been well.
