Western Trails	Can a pop song become traditional? (679* d)	RE: Can a pop song become traditional?	01 Dec 15
I think that modern popular songs could easily become folk songs if they either enter the oral tradition, or otherwise continue to be sung and listened to long after their initial heyday. I mean, Camptown Races, Oh Susanna, and Old Dan Tucker all started as minstrel songs and then became folk songs.
