Thread Name: What makes it a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What makes it a Folk Song?
'Shimrod' my answer of 11th May attempts to show the absurdity of pinning down something indefinable, namely what the music of the people 'is'. Why do all the 1954 types throw insults into their posts? Does it make you feel part of some common good? Is it cynicism? Patrician values before us undeserving thickos? Is it a rule like something out of the '54 definition?
