biglappy Rise Up Singing Book II: 'Rise Again' (162* d) RE: Rise Up Singing Book II 24 May 05

I love the principal authors of the RUS project like family as they are dear family friends.

I'm not into changing the words of folk songs to reflect a more equal role for women or new standards for referring to other races. If I don't like a song for political reasons I usually just quit singing it. RUS has some wording changes that disturb me. I don't doubt the right of anyone to change all the words of a folksong that they wish, but I also respect my own preference for authentic folk sources and my consequent preference for the language those sources used.
