Subject: RE: No, really -- what IS NOT folk music?
Where does one really go with this?
Maybe my own fave would be something around for 100 years everyone has learned.
Maybe we can go for sounds we identify, eg to me the Boat Band is classic English dance music, Shaskeen have the good Irish Cayley sound and Jimmy Shand is I'd think everyone's idea of a New Year's Eve in Scotland.
Maybe we can't though. some things sound "foreign" to me and I don't buy the word formula writing ideas.
