Thread Name: What makes it a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What makes it a Folk Song?
No contradiction here; the universal nature of the content of folk songs trancend their settings: it's why they took root wherever they landed.
So, what you're saying, Jim, is that there is no revival as such, only a continuity of the tradition that has taken root away from its initial context? I'm cool with that, very cool indeed...
