Thread Name: Is 'Streets of London' a folk song
Subject: RE: Is 'Streets of London' a folk song
Right, Joe, and the only opinion which counts is that of the amateur singer (folksinger) who sings it.

No 'folksongs,' just folksingers. I've known Martin Carthy to come back to a session after his gigs. That's when he becomes a folksinger.



I'm hoping that if I stress this point often enough, it will become accepted!

Some hope.
