I'm not sure how many songs are in my list. Off the top of my head, here are some actual folk songs I do. I don't have any idea who wrote ninety percent of them. But I do know who I learned them from---and I thank them heartily for passing them on to me via the tradition---person to person and/or the electronic and printed page tradition. You know who you are!!-- Unlike the list in post #1, these are folk songs in the main.------ Art Thieme
