OK, Frank. At long last I can buy into, at least in the main, a definition of what folk music is, and in the abstract, what it isn't. Interesting, though, when I apply your definition to your old acquaintance Woodrow G's stuff. Much of it would be considered folk, but much of it wouldn't. I have read every damn thread on this we have had here, but this one finally makes some sense.

All the best,

Mick
