GUEST,kathy the last true folk song (35) the last true folk song 05 Dec 00

i was at a concert last night and one of the performers said that real folk songs were created anonymously through the folk process.

it seems to me that in the 20th century, with radio, recordings, mass media, etc., the folk process of anonymous creation has disappeared. we know, or can find, the identities of the composers of all recent songs.

so, my question is, what was the last true folk song created anonymously through the folk process?

thanks.
