Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
"I said that the word "folk" was already in use with a much broader meaning. It still is."
"they chose a term for it which was already in use with a much broader meaning. "
And I said that Paolo Alto chose nothing - the term 'folk song' had been in use since the beginning of the 20th century" - the conference merely accepted that term as being the functional one- the term 'folk song' was well established by the time '54 came along.
You might have "the decency and honesty"to address that fact.
Why do you have to be so ******* aggressive in your responses?
If I am mistaken, I am mistaken - I am not a liar.
