Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
You got the semantic one, but I can't give you full marks as you missed two other glaring ones meducks.

Jim. Adding Gestapo to goose stepping (I can't remember how to do it without a caller shouting out instructions)is rather funny. I assume your comments on racial purity are as a result of being driven out to have to be a refugee in foreign lands eh?

For anyone bored enough to be following the thread, goose stepping means recognising folk as a genre, just like the rest of the world does, musically speaking.

The stick I am getting for a) saying it and b) taking the piss out of absurdity isn't quite good enough yet. Keep 'em coming. Plenty more before your horlicks and tablets kick in eh?

And now a warning for those of a nervous disposition. Sad old men will try, not very successfully to make you look small for the heinous crime of disagreeing with them. The fact that they have no clue of the subject of folk is irrelevant. They reckon they have street cred in traditional music, as indeed they did once, before getting confused over a genre of music that their hobby is a small but slightly significant part of.
