	Folk Music History Outline
		The folksinger as interpreter of traditional songs was replaced by the singer-songwriter or the interpreter of the songs of the singer-songwriter.
		Folk music gave rock content and lyrical depth while rock breathed new life into folk music, and provided a musical dynamism that took it to new and larger audiences.

		I don’t sing folk songs because I think they’re holy or noble or anything; each one of the songs I sing,"folk" or not, is, to me, a wonderful song, for one or more reasons.
