A song came on by Swedish folk/fusion group "Hedningarna", and my daughter described it as indian music. I said that actually the band were Swedish and the music they were playing was based on hungarian folk. She asked if I was sure and I said I was She looked thoughtful for a second and then turned to me and asked: "What is folk?" then she asked: "what's so funny?" |

I just told her I'd play her some folk music later. And you can thank your lucky stars she hsan't entered the debate so far ... she'd wipe the floor with any of us! |
