When i hear a performance I instantly instinctively know what is a folk song,
and I also know what isn't..

But it's all the rest of the millions of songs in the vast expanse 'grey area' middle ground
that cause such confusion and dispute...

Hold on.. wait a mo.. none of that's 'grey' at all...
But in fact, a living vibrant rainbow of colours and light and shade.....

Even the most crap songs display paler tints and hues in the right light...

So.. it's actually the two extremes that are stark black and white from a narrow folkie perspective...


Today's colour is sky blue... [i asked an infant school teacher.. so argue with her...]
