Well, Allan, first off, take your hat off when you say Left Wing Pinko's!. We are left wing pinkoes!! he said proudly with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Actually, NOI, but you need to research the subject before you make gratuitous assertions. I would suggest that if the only folk music you hear is that which would be branded left wing, then perhaps widening the selections you listen to would be useful. Any effort to search the DT, or do forum searches, will find you songs which will support almost any view, conservative or left wing that you would like. I will admit that a majority of the music in our genre will be more liberal than not due to it being inspired by events and political happenings to everyday folks. In folk music the artist generally seeks to question events or portray happenings that affect people, for good or bad, in a significant way.

All the best,

Big Mick, who rather likes being called a left wing Pinko.
