Favourite folk music


I have always loved folk and classical. Growing up I was one of the few appreciating this type of music, so I usually couldn't talk about it. A teenager listening to folk music is apparently one of the worst things imaginable. I didn't care about the ridicule. I still don't care. It's not just teenagers who do that.
