Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
I thought this would be an interestig thread to follow, being as how I do dabble in folk songs. But unfortunately I find it laced with the same acid tones and venom as so many of our other threads, where the simple courtesies of dialogue are abandoned for uncivil invective, insult, and arrogant assertion.
What would it take to move the nasty off the 'Cat in favor of a more fundamental human affinity and respect for civil exchange?
