Bill D. come back from the sidelines for just one minute...

I have been finding myself playing some of the older "rock" tunes solo acoustically. Aerosmith's "Dream On", the Who "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Pinball Wizard" as well as some old Bowie and other whatnot. Needless to say, I'm not "covering" the tune; at best I'm talking the song and moving it to a single guitar/voice arrangement. The lyrics are compelling.

So do I get to qualify that as folk having moved those songs into a folk style presentation?
