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.
