Oh yes I play folk and jazz on my fairly inexpensive but nice sounding Samick nylon string guitar. I strum it with a pick and play to fingerstyle on it too. I play acoustic to accompany my singing and have always had a classical guitar around for fun. I have used my nylon string guitar for busking as well. I too am in my mid 50's and started out as a traditional folk and blues player.
Here's a very famous photo of Woody. What's he holding?
