Danged, ol' bobertnever thought he'd actaully be conversing with catfolk about real stuff.. ahh.. music. But, what the hey.I'd like to think that Helborma isn't an ond hippie folk singer who remembers where he or she was when Kennedy was killed.
With those two "announcments" behind us, folk music to me is universal in that it represents a music that comes from bottom up giving a wide perspective of emotion as opposed to classical which works from a different perspective.

Hey, it's just about carrying on the stories, the music and spirit so... Helborma: Doc Bobert says that if when you hear folk music you hear "sad" that's good. Now for the rest of the good news. The "glad" part of folk music is twice as nice...
