But if the clubs only number 186 (whether that is accurate or not - You put it up as healthy( how van a scene once numbered in the thousands be claimed as "healthy)
If people who know what folks songs are (no problem there) walked away in their thosands and if what you put up as 'folk' is what people are likely to find, it doesn't matter how 'positive people claim it to be, as far as folk songs is concerned it's a dead duck
I believe you are fully aware how far away from folk song has moved - hence your refusal to respond to my analysis - so until you do, any attempts to continue this spiral can only destroy what remains of our respect for each other
I've done my best - your turn now
