Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
I've just read that, Will. It follows on from similar claims made against one Albert Lancaster Lloyd. Perhaps more alarming (to me) are the revelations concerning the creations of a certain Francis J. Child - all 305 of them. They're calling it a literary hoax on a par with Ossian. Question is though - are they still good songs?
