I don't think so, guest.

I've been at this for something like Sixty years, and in that time I have talked with many of the authorities in the field. Seeger and Richard Dyer-Bennet, as aforementioned, but also such people as Charles Seeger, Bess Lomax Hawes, John Lomax Jr., Archie Green, Roger Abrahams, and a whole litany of authorities in the field of folk music that you have probably never heard of.

You are mere enunciating another variation on the "horse" theme, which has been beaten to death in many threads on this forum.

It won't wash!
