thanks, Rhubarb Commando.
the term skiffle is not well known on this side of the pond. we curious use [ib]Mo-town, and R & B, soul, rock, metal, heavy metal, but have no term what you call skiffle. folk was used for woody guthey, and sometimes folk rock, for what in the UK was skiffle (if the music mix was very county, it sometimes gets dubbed rock a billy.) but artist, Dylan, Joan Baez, simeon & garfunles, arlo guthrey, did a mix, that is not folk or traditional music, not country, and not rock.. but a blend.. there were artist like johny cash, who had 'cross over hits' -- their music generaly fell into what is commonly called country, but we never really had a special name for it.
the term skiffle never quite made it cross the pond. nor did many of the UK artists. the same type of music was popular here (and continues to have a following) but the artist never much crossed over the way rock stars did.
