r.padgett	4 33 john cage Trad Song (54* d)	RE: 4 33 john cage Trad Song	06 May 21
Firstly we must dispel the the myth that traditional ceased after 1954 ~ collectors were still finding new uncollected traditional songs after 1954 and certainly new variants of existing songs, indeed new facts from variants It matters not a jot who were members of the IFMC council ~ Contemporary songs were being created before 1954 and do not or cannot claim to be traditional on that fact Contemporary and traditional have no defining date ~certainly NOT 1954 4'33 is contemporary rubbish ~ it is at its best an Art form performance ~if you like that sort of thing Ray I have no firm definition of traditional and strictly there isn't one, Steve G no doubt has one ~ or not lol
