Subject: RE: When does Folk = Not political music?
Hi Mudchuck,

I didn't mean LOUDER literally, I meant sing it so that people 'can hear it'.

Sometimes a songwriter has a message that they 'must' get across and they must do so the best way that they can. Not all political songs need to be subtle, sometimes they are can be angry. I have not heard Larry sing his song, but if I were singing it, there would be lines that I would shout, 'get out you gipsy whore' for one.

Bert.
