Subject: RE: Who Defines 'Folk'????
So, if Iains is correct, then the main point of the argument is whether singer-songwriters should be included in the category of "folk music." I think a song isn't folk music until it has been passed around for a generation or two - and I am sure many purists would think that my definition is too loose. But does it matter? To me, it's all a matter of opinion.
