Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Good list, SS, with which I should nor differ basically. But I don't think a 'bridge' built by a particular folksinger into a N England variant of Child #2 quite makes it a pop song; and I don't think a song extolling the area between "California the the New York Islands" will be quite as internationally known by children as you may fancy.
