GUEST,Curtis | Adapting trad songs - OK or sacrilege? (88* d) | RE: Adapting trad songs - OK or sacrilege? | 21 May 10 |
I play a lot of English trad songs, and I love finding and comparing the various incarnations of a song such as Geordie aka Georgie (1 version from Martin Simpson, 2 different versions from Martin Carthy), Clydeswater aka Drowned Lovers (3 versions = Martin Carthy, Nic Jones, Kate Rusby). Changes here and there are part of what makes a song a living breathing thing. |
