Thread Name: Why should we sing folk music at all?
Subject: RE: Why should we sing folk music at all?
"In a recent thread there was a debate about which was Ewan MacColl's 'Dirty Old Town'. I was surprised at the number of people who didn't know that it's Salford. Who will know in 200 years?"
If it ever becomes a folk song (which is extremely unlikely) it won't matter, it will be about wherever it lands.
