""Actually I am trying to uplift and declare singer songwriter a new genre. Don you are confused.""

Thanks, but no thanks!

I know exactly what I am.

I am a singer of songs both traditional and contemporary, and a writer of songs mostly in the folk style, and a composer of music for other folks' poetry.

The last thing I need is to be shoehorned into the narrow slot you have in mind, so kindly butt out.
