Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
I appear to be fundamentally against folk music and something or other about Fred Whassisname.

It must be fascinating inside your mind Jim... Not that I wish to understand it you see. I'd be grateful if you just stopped misrepresenting what I put. If you can't make a decent point, putting silly words in the mouths of others doesn't make your posts any better.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Anyway, I'm off to sing some folk songs tonight with my trusty carbon fibre folk guitar. I reckon I know what they are, although I chop and change as most of us do. My provisional list doesn't have a folk song that existed in 1954. No reason, just looking at the list, all contemporary tonight.
