no don't the blokes down the pub, or even people like you Jim to call it a folksong. they can call it aurora borealis, they can call it Stenhourmuir, they can call it a velociraptor.

What i want you to try and grasp is that once its in the folks's heads. it IS folksong. it IS theirs! THEY ARE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY LIKE WITH IT!

and that is the nature of folksong.

that is how folk song is created.
