Sandy Paton Origin: Ain't No More Cane on This Brazos (71* d) RE: Help: aint no more cane 01 Oct 01


Art, my friend, I would never accuse you, of all people, of attempting to mislead any of us. I was speaking to all of us: don't misinform your audience regarding the source of your material. If any professional singer of traditional songs was ever more honest about his sources than Art Thieme, I've not met him/her. My plea for general honesty in one's presentation may have been awkwardly phrased and easily misunderstood. If so, I'm sorry. But there has been enough of what has been called "fakelore" passed around in the folk revival to last us all a lifetime. Sing 'em as you like 'em, but please be honest about where you got 'em.

Sandy
