Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
"In the meantime, folk music is enjoying a huge revival. I doubt a single performer under the age of 50 has heard of, nor would find relevant, any piece of paper written in 1954, except in the historical journey of the genre sense. I hadn't heard of it except in passing myself till I found Mudcat. Yet by then, I had been "involved" for thirty odd years!" more or less my experience.
