GUEST,wordy Is this a folk song? (172* d) RE: Is this a folk song? 25 Mar 07

How many fans of traditional song do you think there are in this country (a couple of thousand? (quote from above)
Exactly. Meanwhile the folk are singing back in 1945 "Tipperary", "Roll out the barrel" etc with no idea who wrote those songs. Therefore they qualify as folk songs far better than those researched songs sung in folk clubs by 2000 people nationwide.
The "Folk's" tradition goes on and yet you can't rejoice in that fact.
The sieve songs go through is still the people. Respect their choices!
