Thread Name: What makes it a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What makes it a Folk Song?
I must support Shimrod on his last sceptical post re Sinister Supporter's bizarre remarks.
"with Folk song which research has shown can include any song of any genre sung in a designated folk context by designated folk singers" (Sinister Supporter, March 2410.58AM
"Resaerch has shown"? Researched by whom?"Designated folk context" ? Designated by whom? Possibly the elusive "distinguished international experts" who regularly appear in the popular press or news broadcats. Or perhaps it means "I read it in Wikipedia".
