This is where the conflict comes up, between the folk purists and those of us who believe in.....adultery. "Rise Up Singing" is meant to be a people's songbook, not a folk songbook. One would hope that many of the songs in the book would be "traditional folk" songs, but the purpose of the book is to encourage a large number of people to have a good time singing. Personally, I think that's a noble purpose, and I'm looking forward to a second volume. I have been enjoying the Fantasy Folk Circle, but I think that a good number of the songs mentioned don't fit the purpose of 'Rise Up Singing' because the songs are a bit too obscure. So, are there specific songs anyone would like to suggest that meet the "Rise Up Singing" criteria? -Joe Offer-
