Thread Name: What defines a traditional song?
Subject: RE: What defines a traditional song?
Well I buy into the "hand me down" aspect of "Traditional" ..
But that only answers half the question - the other half being:
What is a "song"?
Must it have words? What about birds? Must it have a tune? What about rap?
Ouch!! .. no no - stop throwing things, I take it back. We all know what a song is - its what we sing ... Right?
