Internet folk is like internet sex - it's what you watch others do
Maybe that's what the modern crowd prefer - it never suited us (either music or sex)
Strangely enough, the only real folk music on the internet I find satisfying was never done for putting on line - it is of live performances or films made to encourage others to become involved - 'The Singer and the Song', 'End of an Old Song' ot the filmed Radio Ballads..... - masterpieces all
The home made, poorly produced stuff leaves me cold because it appears to have no objective other than to promote itself
