Little Thoughts on Music

Folk music Music that folks can sing or play from memory.

Folks The down-home people, the people in the cereal aisle, the people with a little hole in the elbow of their favorite sweater.

"Folk music" has come to have a musty smell. It supposedly lives only in church basements on Thursday nights when the banjo players and the singing family from the hills come to town to fiddle around. But I think that, for example, Bruce Springsteen is truly a folk musician.
