Thread Name: When does Folk = Not political music?
Subject: RE: When does Folk = Not political music?
Brothers and Sisters,

It is not just the content that makes a song a political song...Utah Phillips has been heard to say that "in a mass market economy, any song that you sing yourself is a revolutionary song". My version of the folk process includes passing music and or stories from one to another, all the while crafting them to an ever changing need.

Keep on SINGING, Larry, I'll be the guy right in back of you, singing along....
