ksiegel Preserve trad folk songs (melodies) (22) RE: Preserve trad folk songs (melodies) 20 Feb 24


So many songs with the same tunes, many of which - while allegedly penned by "traditional" or "anonymous"...

Tom Paxton's story of his daughter listening to that "old french folk song" Bouteille du Vin" is just one example.

I hear a lot of fiddle & whistle/pipe players playing their traditional songs

And this year, I just yeard "Cherokee Shuffle" for the first time...

And swore I was listening to Stan Rogers' "Watching the Apples Grow".

Who knows - maybe I was?
