Thread Name: What's wrong with 'Folk Music'
Subject: RE: What's wrong with 'Folk Music'
My, what a discussion this is!
I have only one comment and then I'll stand back and be ready to deflect anything thrown at me.
There was a comment make early on about "singer/songwriter crap." It's true that there is a lot of poor singer/songwriter stuff around but some of it is wonderful. Besides every song at some point had an author, no? Let's not write off all singer/songwriters in general. Some of them actually write "folk music."
