I dunno, Bert. To enter the tradition, I would say someone has to learn it without a book and then sing it. I'm still up in the air as to whether it's okay to learn it from a recording or if you have to learn it from a (live) person. Of course, the fact that a song which has previously been in the oral tradition gets published in a book, and people learn it from the book, does not take the song OUT of the oral tradition.

Jon W., once again stating his opinion as fact.
