Thread Name: So what is *Traditional* Folk Music?
Subject: RE: So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music ?
This is precisely what I have been trying to do, but have been repeatedly hampered.,With balderdash about procedure.
if you interviewed the English public you would get this answer THE Wild Rover. Morris Dancing. so Folkie Daves definition is kyboshed by the usage argument .
If you went to LOIUSANA The general publics answer would probably be cajun or zydeco.If you asked an aboriginal it would probably be tunes on the Didgeridoo,If you asked Chris Roche it would be shanties[ SUNG IN UNISON].If you went to mexico it would be tex mex. SoThere are some starters.
