Here's a clue, Conrad. There are a whole lot of people out there in the wide world who don't want sing folk songs, don't like folk songs, and don't want to listen to folk songs, not matter how good the singer is by ANY standard.

They DON'T CARE a bloody damn about folk music and folk singers.

In exactly the same way that some people can't stand to listen to opera. Or classical music. Or don't much care for Broadway Show tunes. Or rock. Name a genre of music and there will be people who are not interested, and do not want to GET interested.

PEOPLE'S TASTE DIFFER!!!

What are you going to do, Conrad? Round them up and hold a gun to their heads?

AND PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!!.

Get that through your thick skull!!
