Trying to keep thoughts short:
Folk music to me means wandering around a field/ pub and seeing things and not really remembering them. Folk music also means any 'traditional' (in the broadest sense) music. I like a lot of English folk, I tend to see a lot of it live this year, but I almost never buy it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with C93/ Pentangle/ Planxty (or whatever) and it can be very enjoyable.
I would like to say, however, that the 'folk music' being talked about in this thread strikes me as one particular strain of folk music - I'd have to include Tuvan Khoomei or Congolese Soukous (itself a misecegenation of r n' r and traditional Congolese stuff) or any number of things. This isn't a criticism, merely an observation. Obviously, the folk music on a message board that's predominantly Anglo-American is going to be (drumroll please) Anglo-American folk music.
Right, so do I have an actual point then? Does it really matter?
