Give what a try Dave - Neil Young, folk heavy metal, insipid limp-wristed singing of navel gazing non folk songs... all of which have been put up as alternatives to Walter - et al.... no thanks very much
If you take on the name of something as specific as folk song than, out of common decency, if nothing else, you need to take responsibility for what you have taken on or you need to get off the pot

Simply this is not what you will find at folk clubs and sessions, Jim ~ please go out and find a typical folk club or mixed session and have a listen ~I am sure you will be surprised (or not)
