Subject: RE: Folklore: Has the folk Process died?
Hello Steve

no names no packdrill.

I will add to the discussion about copyright and 'process' that there are lots of singers and guitar players who "don't give a damn" about copyright eg in informal personal context eg one's own home (won't raise open mikes, darn it just did). Had it done so, I should maybe never have learned guitar, at least not via the person to person methods I did learn by in my own home and those of friends, using stuff including Neil Young (whose work I did not even particularly even like at the time, though I do now). And I passed on what I had learned, even, I guiltily admit, to pupils in school on school premises. Folk process, "you tell me" as somebody else said.

I learned melodeon mainly using books - written by somebody called Mally if my memory serves me aright. And played for Morris dancing, not sure if that was folk or not.
