Welcome to Folk The World I have come to grow and love folk music both traditional and modern. I love this music and its culture for its meaning and the actual music writing. It’s fair to say that music just isnt written in the same anymore (with some amazing exceptions.) This blog will strictly post objects or quotes that are related to folk music, folk instruments, folk singers/groups (both traditional and modern) and even folk influenced politics. My Name Is Dan Merer. My goal is to share my love for this culture with as many people as possible. If you have any questions about my posts feel free to ask. I will also make it possible for you to post anything if you would like under my approval ofcourse. I am always up for learning more and I’m always searching for new facts and music.
