GUEST,Don Wise	Is this murdering a folk song? (73* d)	RE: Is this murdering a folk song?	14 Feb 12
re 'The Folk Voice'- this of course includes singers with 'plummy' english RP accents trying to sing american songs in a terribly plummy american accent(e.g. Charles Parker from The Critics Group). Lonnie Donegan's accent was far more convincing. Further, if this 'Voice' is apparently a 'put-on'/'stage' voice, does this mean that,to be authentic, one has to sing in a regional accent and,if you don't have a marked regional accent, you shouldn't sing (folk)songs at all? Should we become vocal chameleons?
