Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
sorry Michael and everybody – I was that Guest.

>GUEST ~~ You say you knew "Your land, my land" when you were in primary school. Did you actually learn it at primary school?: in which case you will probably have had a Guthrie-loving teacher. Or was it one of those ubiquitous radio, cubs&scouts, back of bus songs you mention from the time? It makes a difference...<

Can't actually remember, Michael. I associate it with school, somehow, but I rather doubt that our Miss foster was a Guthrie enthusiast. Probably it was in the air.
