I see my post has been deleted. Well done censors. Not. Folk music is the antithesis of art music (and opera): the playgrounds of the ruling class. It is one reason why the 1954 definition so (wrongly) derided by the new upper middle class remains important. 600 years (at least) of oppression and rapine discarded on the whim of a moderator, and probably one whose national history is less extensive than the foundations of my house. If it's just a pretty noise - get thee hence. You are one of the oppressors.
