Thread Name: Chords in Folk?
Subject: RE: Chords in Folk?
Hi Charlotte,

Knobhead he may have been but I was expecting something significantly more rude and descriptive. Like That Hopeless Bludgeon Bastard Cecil #.
Or That Pea Brained Codswallop.

I only partially agree with Eliza. The song doesn't start out as popular but it is made popular by the quality of the people singing it. However, I'd bet that wordologist could defend Folk and Popular as having the same roots. (Popular from populi meaning people. Folk from folk meaning folk/people. Or something to that effect.)

Hows all that for being over scholarly?

Don
