In The United States, Many People Said You Can't Have Folk Music In The United States Because You Don't Have Any Peasant Class. But The Funny Thing Was, There Were Literally Thousands, Tens Of Thousands, Hundreds Of Thousands Of People Who Loved Old Time Fiddling, Ballads, Banjo Tunes, Blues Played On The Guitar, Spirituals And Gospel Hymns. These Songs And Music Didn't Fit Into Any Neat Category Of Art Music Nor Popular Music Nor Jazz. So Gradually They Said Well Let's Call It Folk Music.

I'm Still A Communist In The Sense That I Don't Believe The World Will Survive With The Rich Getting Richer And The Poor Getting Poorer - I Think That The Pressures Will Get So Tremendous That The Social Contract Will Just Come Apart.

Being Generous Of Spirit Is A Wonderful Way To Live.
