Thread Name: This should set folk music back 100 year
Subject: RE: This should set folk music back 100 year
As so often happens with some of Mudcat's more esoteric threads, I'm floundering a bit. Wasn't this just an old track presented as part of a tribute site for those old 'film jukeboxes'?
Have I missed something, or has someone threatened to resurrect this style of singing, thus creating yet another in a long line of 'threats' to the 'genuine' folk music which some Mudcatters hold dear?
Or is this, as I say, just an old track which someone's dug out for our entertainment?
For the record, they reomind me of The Springfields, The Seekers and (dare I say it?) Peter Paul abd Mary.
I wouldn't mind one little bit if someone did revive this style of singing. I'd do it myself if I had just a tenth of the talent these three had.
