Thread Name: Worst Folk Song Ever?
Subject: RE: Worst Folk Song Ever?
Well, case in point: it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I first heard Fields of Athenry. "Hey, good song!" I said to myself, and hauled off and learned it.
Then I find out here on Mudcat that it's been sung a lot, and large numbers of folkies just don't want to hear it anymore.
So I save it for other audiences. It goes over well. Lots of people like it.
