Jim - do what...????

Why are you calling it 'my' folk scene..

I don't own or control anything.....

Besides which your grasp of music history in the late 20th/21st century is not nearly good enough
for you to be so dogmatic about it.
Stick to IMHO and you'd at least have a better footing when you dismiss things
you no longer understand well enough...

Personally I'm [with the little free time I have] trying
to balance an interest in 'trad folk',
and how I might relate it to more than half a century of cultural and technological evolutiuon.
With any luck I've got another 10 years at least left to explore my love of music
in ways that stimulate me...

To this end I am eager to find positive things I can respond to and learn from,
in singers and songs that frankly are not much joy to listen to..

Fortunatly so much of it is good..

..and I'm only scratching the surface so far..

AS more archives are uploaded for accesible listening,
and if the Bulmer hoard is ever made available on the internet,
I won't live long enough to catch up on all I've missed..

THe state of folk now and in the future is optimistically secured
for at least one more generation after us...

Surely you can find something positive in that...?????
