Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
"It's worth winding him up just because he reacts by over reacting" (Musket) Seems to sum up so much of this thread and the permanent attitude of some contributors. (Something about living under bridges and eating goats springs to mind.)

Thanks to Don Firth for sensible and temperate interventions. In response to "the masses are always right" as an argument – what is the point of having specialists who actually study things if we take that approach? Why have doctors and surgeons when your neighbour, who has studied nothing, can always tell you what is wrong with you and what to do about it? As for trusting Amazon and i-tunes as a guide to what is correct !!!!!!
