Thread Name: What is a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What is a Folk Song?
Jim,
The part about "there were none written" was someone else, not me. That's why I put it in quotes. The whole point of my post was to demonstrate that folk songs (by the 1954 definition) WERE written in the 20th century. That is why I listed those 15 songs. They meet the 1954 definition and were written (I believe) in the 20th century.
