Thread Name: Research project: Traditional Folk music
Subject: RE: Research project: Traditional Folk music
we have been unable to define tradtional music satisfactorily,on other threads.
The important point is not who is singing the song[traditional singer or revival]but how the song is being sung,This is what defines a good singer,interpretation, intonation and communication,not what the persons name is.
when there are no traditional singers for people to collect [and that time is not very far away in my opinion]then the same criteria willbe used ,as is used in other forms of music[as Ioutlined above] and we can get away from this nonsensical traditional /revival singer jargon,which is meaningless claptrap, as we cant even define what traditional is.http://www.dickmiles.com
