Subject: RE: Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs?
Oh, not all this "so long as it's GOOD" bum again PLEASE.
"Swan Lake" is good, but it isn't a folk-dance; Bach's Brandenburg Concerti are good, but they are not folk-tunes; "La Donn' e Mobile is good but is isn't a folksong; "War & Peace" is good, but it isn't a folktale; Beethoven's Violin Concerto is good, but it is not scored for folk fiddle.
