GUEST,Black Hawk It isn't 'Folk', but what is it we do? (169* d) RE: It isn't 'Folk', but what is it we do? 20 Mar 07

Does no-one on this board sing a song because they like the song? Does it have to have years of being sung in back-street pubs before it is acceptable?

I listen to any music, anywhere & if I like a song I will try & identify the author & singer & learn it.

If I cannot identify the author/singer I will still learn & sing the song because I like it & want to share it with others.

Sometimes when I have sung an unidentified song, someone afterwards has said 'Thats by ........." & I have learned something which may lead me to other works by the same author/singer. If I only went on categories I would miss out on a lot of enjoyable music.

If I like it, I like it & don't see why I should label it to make it acceptable.
