Thread Name: Why are singer-songwriters called folksingers?
Subject: RE: Why are singer/ songwrites called folksi
I agree with Little Hawk. The last thing that those who have used folk music as a springboard into pop music want to be called is a folksinger. If people can't agree on what is folk music, then how can they agree on what someone is who sings it?

Keep the tradition alive. Everything living grows and changes. Respect those who have given us this great music. But, when was the last folksong written?
