If I've bought a CD or book I've paid the author already; If I've just heardthe song and feel that it would suit me better to fiddle a bit with the words, that's my right. |
Subject: RE: How the words change From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Dec 06 - 06:52 PM One of the things appreciate most in folk music is the way that traditional tunes and somghs will exist in any number of variants, so that a familiar song can suddenly be heard again as a new song. I think that is a privilege which should not be limited to old songs and anonymous songs. |
