Man, if there was ever anything I'd like to do as a summer job, is to work at a music shop... although I might get fired for laughing at poor purchase choices and trying to stuff in good music CD's into their shopping bags.
Oh, and sorry for the completely inadequate and unrelated stereotype I'll just say, but every time I hear someone from the UK talking about folk music, the first thing that comes to might are red-headed, hairy Scottish men playing on bagpipes (although I must say I like the bagpipe sounds)
