Thread Name: Folk songs for a 'non-folkie' audience
Subject: RE: Folk songs for a 'non-folkie' audience
Lyrically, I think "The Blacksmith" (A blacksmith courted me, nine months and better....) is good, because it's such a superb angry song, & the "plot" moves quite fast. And it's a superb tune as well. It's certainly what I would open with if I was playing to a non-folk audience. Something I've recorded for a radio "session" for a non-folk internet station, in fact.
