For my money, there is nothing wrong with the term "folk music." Having been a folksinger/songwriter for many years, the object of "folk" in "folksinger simply refers to the songs of the common person. Folk songs reflect the things of our society and the times for which they were written. This continuous attempt to redefine terms is really quite tiresome and spurious. Folk songs refer to all the people of our society and not just the "white folk" as some would incorrectly have us believe. Like the saying goes, "If it aint broke, don't fix it." The term "Folk Music" is NOT broken.
