Walter Pardon, categorised his songs by their style, or used style as a contributory factor as to how he judged them.
he differentiated between Music hall songs and child ballads or trtaditional songs,but he didnt differentiate between the songs on the basis of the folk process oe whether they had been altered by the folk process
Jim please correct me if I am wrong.
now were all or the majority of the songs Walter learned,learned by the folk process,and had they been processed?
if they were it means Walter who was a TRADITIONAL SINGER,didnt categorise his songs solely by whether they had been learned by the folk process,or solely because they had been folk processed.,he took other factors into consideration such as style.
