GUEST,Little Robyn Preserve trad folk songs (melodies) (22) RE: Preserve trad folk songs (melodies) 18 Feb 24


What Tattie Bogle said! Sometimes I hear a 'new' version of a song I know well and love - and it makes wonder why, what is the reason they have changed things? Is it because they were too lazy to learn the words properly or are they keen to show off a new tune they have just written? Are they hoping to claim copyright and earn a bit extra (thinking of a certain Mr Zimmerman here) or did they hear it wrong in the first place.
My Mum also used to say "If it ain't broke....."
