Subject: RE: So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music ?
but then if I sang hey mr tamburine man while I was milking my goat it becomes a folk song.
Many years ago I heard a radio interview with John Mearns Aberdeen song collector and he was saying that songs like Drumdelgie,were used to sing while doing farm chores , certain songs were suitable for the rhythym of horse ploughing and some wEre suitable for hand milking, This was before farm mechanisation.
