Thread Name: Writing a folk standard
Subject: RE: Writing a folk standard
"Andy made it perfectly clear what he meant and you're deliberately twisting his intention."
No I'm not Jack - if misunderstood, enough people here took him took him to mean what I believe he meant and went on to defend the non-meaning of the term "folk"
We really do need to settle this question - hopefully without the mud-slinging.
Then maybe subjects like 'definition' will stop being no-go areas.
I have become increasingly sickened by the unpleasantness and dishonesty that surrounds this topic - even from people I otherwise respect.
The return of Muskett and his hydrophobic hatred of folk song and source singers (albeit in yet another persona) hasn't helped
