Gibb Sahib Studying folk music (51* d) RE: Studying folk music 07 Nov 13


Hey Bob -

what exactly is your question?

"My question to the Mudcat community:
What (and who) defines the folk music "canon"? Is it defined by American collectors such as the Lomaxes, or Harry Smith (who collected mostly 20th century U.S. songs)? What of Francis James Child, an American who collected British Isle songs in the late 19th century? ...Just curious to find out other peoples' opinion on the matter."

I hope that helps ;)
