Phil Edwards What makes a new song a folk song? (1710* d) RE: What makes a new song a folk song? 09 Oct 14


If we're ever in the same session, Rob, you won't hear any denunciations or even mild expressions of disapproval from me. (In fact I've never heard them from anyone, anywhere - the Folk Police really are a myth.) I love the music and enjoy it intensely. The only reason I care about labels is that - as I said back here - I love some kinds of music much more than others. I'm just here to defend one of my very favourite kinds of music (which is called folk) from being confused with a kind of music which I can take or leave at its best (and which is also called folk).
