Mission accomplished. Jim and Michael are happily contradicting their earlier stance.

The poor bugger who started this thread with a genuine question can at last see an answer with consensus.

So long as every few weeks you turn up at your local folk club with your trousers up to your tits and appear authentic as per Jim and Michael's descriptions, you can sing songs you wrote and claim them as folk.

And Jim apparently won't ask you where your Jack boots are.

And Michael won't call the bar stool an aardvark.




Some fucking hope......
