Maybe this needs a new thread. Is out response to music through our "thinking" or through our "feeling"?
A nearer definition of the folk police would be to see them as "no" sayers. They're in all walks of life. Their response to any request is a sharp intake of breath followed by a slow shaking of the head.The "yes" sayers react with a smile and a nod.I'm with the "yes" sayers, even if it does mean that occassionally a young person who is just learning hammers out a Buddy Holly song. That's how I started.Once inside the tent however my musical education began.
