I've only had the time to skim read this one, so apologies if this duplicates anyone elses's thoughts...but, for the umpteenth time, could somebody please explain to me where the "traditional unauthored folk song" comes from? Is the contention that they never had to be composed by a human being; and if so, how so? Created by God at the beginning of time? Left on Utah Phillip's pillow by the folk song fairy?? I think we should be told.
