Andy7 Writing a folk standard (167* d) RE: Writing a folk standard 29 Oct 16


There are some very good tips in this thread - the song has to be on a topic that everyone, or nearly everyone, can relate to; nothing about contemporary events that will date easily; and a 'warm' subject, e.g. raising our voices in song together, good friendships and good company, fine ale, raising a glass, being homeward bound after a journey (or after an evening together), etc.

Right, I'll give it a go; and I'll let you know, maybe in a few years, whether I ever hear anyone else singing my 'standard'! :-)
