Thread Name: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Pip - so are you saying that English Ballads or a traditional blues song are not folk songs?

Certainly not. I'm saying they're all traditional songs, which I guess we'd all agree makes them folk songs.

'ang on I'll unplug me Strat....

Why would you want to do that? I think they had electricity in 1954, and I'm sure they didn't say not to use it.
