Thread Name: Song on a taboo subject?
Subject: RE: Song on a taboo subject?
The Men They Couldn't Hang released "Come here little boy" some 10 or 15 years ago which dealt with child abuse and related issues. Not trad of course but a powerful song an a taboo subject and almost impossible to sing pretty well anywhere. I tried once and got told in no uncertain terms that it was "not appropriate and made the audience uncomfortable"
