"However, for some people hereabouts - it's the law."
This claim, or something like it, keeps being made but I have yet to see actual evidence for it. Could you give examples?
"Folk song" has (or had) a particular meaning to describe a particular type of song. Just as the word "cat" describes a particular type of animal; however it is as if some people were to insist the description should also include dogs.
