Seed,

I warn you! Do not get sucked into a discussion of what is "folk." I am putting it into the category of unresolvable discussions. There are things I don't discuss with friends, because the beliefs are deeply and strongly held and we are not likely to change the mind of the other.

I, too, have suffered the stings and arrows of outrageous folk definitions. I like it when we stick with songs we like. This thread is "Favourite artists" and Paul wisely put folk music in parentheses. Let's keep it that way.
