Right....and if this were a Motown forum, a lot of white folks would not be as interested in it, as folk music...even though a lot of the blues has it's roots in black gospel, and is well liked and appreciated by whites, it isn't quite that way with the blacks.....ESPECIALLY when lame, lifeless campfire music is supposed to fire them up as much as hot gospel..or blues...or soul.
Just the way it is...but I have found that many blacks are as fascinated by a beautiful melody, much the same as whites get-off on black rhythm!....but then try applying it to folk.
