Maybe it was Edmonton I was thinking of... Maybe it was Vancouver...I do recall a really good short film on The Calgary Music Fest though, where the constant thread through the interviews of people like Bruce Cockburn, Shawn Colvin, Stephen Fearing, Blue Rodeo, Grievous Angles and others was a shared disdain for the small 'moniker' of 'folk'...
See, I call myself a folk musician for the exact opposite reason... 'folk' is a big huge category in my book, that allows one to play a bunch of different styles of music...
I'm also with Frogmore...
"Shut up and play yer guitar."
