r.padgett Trad song, singarounds & younger people (22) RE: Trad song, singarounds & younger people 12 Apr 23


"although there are some songs that we can stop singing at all, including some traditional songs." a bit ambiguous is this correct please

Many songs have been changed have to avoid words that no longer convey the spirit intended and continue to be sung ~ long may it be so

To stop singing risque songs and double entendre is a big loss to the tradition ~ yes downright racist songs are wrong, but they can inform us exactly what abuse was metered out in times of old ~some times we join in choruses when we do not know exactly what is being said
