Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Sorry Jim - didn't quite finish.
There is an arrogance among some singers that, because they are not interested in doing anything more than standing up and singing once a week, the rest of us should be as shallow.
We have to put up a great deal of stick because we do.
If it wasn't for the collectors and researchers we wouldn't have folk clubs or anything to sing in them; we'd all still be warbling about pink and blue toothbrushes.
May please some.
