[jonathan walton <jaw42...>]

Now to continue or to stop this discussion of trying to make a

We can just going on labeling or to avoid any labeling at all.

folk music - music by folkies
modern jewish music - classical rooted music by jews
new jewish music - contemporary Western art music by jews with jewish
musical origins
