Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
by coincidence the recruited collier was only collected once too , remarkable, nor was the informant of recruited collier ever encountered by another collector, which might possibly indicate it was composed by Bert
.Lloyd generally represented his versions of "Reynardine" as "authentic" folksongs (going so far as to claim to have collected the song from one "Tom Cook, of Eastbridge, Suffolk"), but this informant has never apparently been encountered by any other collector.
