Subject: RE: The definitive folk song From: GUEST,polly becker Date: 26 Mar 10 - 12:10 PM My question is, what is the happiest folk song? I am in seach of something irresistably upbeat, effervescent? Are there any? I understand that this genere of music tends naturally toward tragedy and hardship...But I have a specific project in mind, and I want something a bit unfamilar that would be good for kids. Anyone have any advice for me??? Thanks--Polly |
