Subject: RE: So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music ?
fuller versions with changes that came from the creative efforts of the Travellers rather than from mishearing.

Could we posssibly be too early? I just wonder if the song needs to spend longer, spread around more in order to get articulated better? It could even become a different song? Also I was trying to envisage circumstances where by Travellers learnt this song. If it was off the radio directly from the original broadcast? Off a recording? Off non-travellers?

That's more questions than answers this morning!!
