Thread Name: Folklore: Has the folk Process died?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Has the folk Process died?
RE: Folklore: Has the folk Process died? - No but it has changed**.
In the 1980s, at a regular Folk Club, I used to tell lightbulb jokes. They thought I was getting cheap laughs. As if!
But after about 6 months I revealed (in print) that I had been demonstrating Folklore to a bunch of Folkies. To this day, I am not sure they all got it.
I guess it might work better now fashion has moved on.
So is it fashion or folklore in the modern idiom, and after a time (please specify) is there a difference anyway?
**that's the Folk Process for you!
