D e G - Not clear whether you mean of the original singer, or of the modern folk interpreter who sings them now? Please clarify the point of your question.

Sorry - I was a bit vague. I am just asking if the status of the singer changes the intrinsic value of the song, it's message or it's meaning. I know that the singer can change it tonaly etc. but I don't think that has anything to do with profession either does it?
