people are doing some of the things I advocate and others are coming close. But, the problem is that it needs to be much more widespread and it can be but isnt. Too many false excuses for not making it happen.

You appear to be the only person here who thinks your beliefs should be more widespread - can't you see that? And the "false excuses" you keep quoting aren't excuses at all - just common sense, which you appear to be devoid of.

By the way, I'm still curious as to what you actually consider to be folk music, and whether you can quote us some examples of the music which you consider fit this category. Why no answer? Why consistently ignore this and other pertinent questions? Why no provenance or any evidence for the validity of the things you advocate?

All you've done, throughout this whole thread, is make unfounded assertions, insulted good musicians who've dedicated a whole lot of their time to spreading music - most of the time for peanuts - and attempted to advocate a ludicrous and unnecessary straitjacket in which you think the music will flourish.
