Surely in a folk tradition there's an assumption that music is passed
on from generation to generation? Musicians' egos aside, I've seen a
greater emphasis on performance than 'originality' or proprietary
authorship in that genre.
What I meant was that if you ask a musician directly, they are often
modest and ready to acknowledge influences, where as the marketing
people come up with all that 'best band in the world' or 'greatest
singer of all time' stuff.
Cheers
