Bounty Hound What makes a new song a folk song? (1710* d) RE: What makes a new song a folk song? 29 Aug 14


Jim, I call them modern folk songs, or perhaps to use the quote above, in the 'traditional idiom', and I believe that to be a fair description, and would like to think that they are my small contribution to maintaining a tradition.

I'm still interested to know how you define the type of song we're discussing though, you've not answered that one yet :)
